I have SN. 996, purchased in Oct. 1965. I sent you pictures and you have my

 story on your story page, but the dulcimer is not on the list on the first page

.... just thought I'd mention it. I was telling one of the dulcimer lists about my

 dulcimer and someone wrote me and asked why it wasn't on the list. Thanks.
