Custom order name "The Journey"

This was the last dulcimer I completed before we move from Long Beach, CA to Caldwell, TX

"The Journey" not only refers to my move but also marks the point in time when I made the transition from building dulcimers as a hobby, into building dulcimers full time.

This dulcimer has a great sound. The walnut top (as opposed to my usual redwood tops) lowered the volume a bit but made up for it in it's overall clear, clean, and highly responsive tone.
