Welcome to my stringed instruments site.

Sometime in the early 1960s, I made my first mountain dulcimer. Later I branched into hammered dulcimers and folk harps and only slowed down for a stretch to raise a family and follow a thankless and masochistic career as an executive speech writer for a Fortune 500 company.

I work alone, mainly on assignments. I build a limited number of instruments a year. As a result, you get a well-built, rare instrument that is a unique work of art. 

I guarantee my instruments for five years against materials and workmanship. Also, if for any reason you are not satisfied with your instrument within a week from receiving it, I will build another one for you, or return your money, if you wish. Your only cost will be shipping.

To see descriptions and images of my instruments, please, click on buttons at left. Some of the pages may take a while to load. I assume you'd like to dwell on some clear pictures of instruments, especially if you're in the market for one.

The link My Tunes contains complete MP3 recordings featuring instruments I have made.
