Here are photos and descriptions of some of the instruments I have built. Many of these were designed by the buyers, while others were built to my specs
to sell "off the shelf".
Please see "Instruments For Sale" tab in the bar above for more information on available instruments.
PUBLIC APPEARANCES
I love to share the history of both the Mountain Dulcimer (one of only two "stringed instruments native to North America.) and the immigrants that were responsible for their creation. (The Scots-Irish of the Appalachian area of the U.S.)
I can arrange anything from an informal coffee hour, slide show presentation or live lectures, (all with time built in for question and answers) or something else if you have an idea.
I am willing to travel pretty much anywhere in western Washington to accomodate your needs. Target audiences can include but are certainly not limited to)
Musical groups or classes
Church Groups or Musical Departments
School Classrooms
Historical Interest Groups
I do not charge for these appearances and do not require a minimum number of attendees. All I ask is that you make necessary arrangements for a time and place to meet and handle inviting your group,
If you know of a group that might be interested in a presentation of some kind, please contact me and we can talk about the possibilities.
