At 8:11pm on April 30, 2017, Dave Lynas said…: Great dulcimer Gary. You did a nice job on hollowing. I've never got one as thin as yours. Yours is like the old Komica Pineaple Ukulelles. Made from a solid piece of Koa.

At 7:35am on June 19, 2014, nailtown slim said…: Yeah, that's old Mr Khan, used to live next door to me, he was really shy, he'd always hide in the cellar when he got visitors, then one night I heard a lot of shouting and doors banging and he just disappeared! He's still got my sledge hammer, my drill and my lawnmower too!

At 6:13pm on June 18, 2014, Rob Ingram said…: Nice guitars you're building ! I'm a big canjo & diddley bow fan !!
