Subject: Magnificent!

You've done it again!!! The hammered dulcimer arrived and is gorgeous-- the wood is gorgeous and the tone is gorgeous! I read somewhere that klezmer music can be played on dulcimer, so that is where I'm headed and the sound should be incredible!!
Mickey, you do such a fantastic job finding excellent instrument makers at reasonable prices! And Susie, you are exceptional at handling the orders and getting them shipped so quickly!

I can't thank you enough.

Have a great July 4th!

Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2000 Hi Mickey, I'm sorry it has taken me so long to write back. I received the hammered dulcimer I got from you through Ebay a week before my birthday in August. I've been having a great time playing it. Thus far, I have figured out the playing patterns and have about 9 or so songs down. I'm going through all my recorder music as most of it is written in G or F, thus it is pretty easy to play on the dulcimer. I have a suggestion for those who have difficulty hitting the right string with the hammers - I drew a line on the top of the hammer where it should hit the string. I have no depth perception, and was having problems until I did that. Now playing is very easy. My only concerns have been is that the tuning wrench sent with it is an elbow-wrench type, whereas now you are advertising it with a t-wrench. From what I've read the t-type is superior and won't cause undo stress on the tuning pins. What could I do to replace the elbow-wrench? Also, it would wonderful if you offered different types of hammers on your site. I'm looking for double sided ones and would rather buy from where I bought my dulcimer than from some strangers! You could also offer stands as well? My biggest problem with the dulcimer is that my poor harp is feeling neglected and my guitar has been sitting idle even longer! Best Regards, Mary E. Burns

Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2000 Hi Mickey, I just wanted you to know the hammered dulcimer arrived and it's gorgeous. I've started playing and aside from some sore muscles (goes with the disease I have, I don't think I'm doing anything wrong), I'm doing nicely already. I've chosen one or two songs to play with the orchestra. Thanks, Jennifer
