2020 1971     YP-1900 Stanford, Bonnie B 1236 S 89th E Ave Tulsa OK Old back  4/17/2008 We have just acquired Homer's #2020 from our aunt Bonnie Stanford, formerly of Tulsa OK.
It has not been played much, but seems to be in excellent condition despite having been stored in its original box and quilted cover since 1971.
We live in New Mexico, and are hoping it will survive our low humidity... any suggestions?
Thanks,
Bunny Bowen

2130 1971     0046         12/9/2007 Hello, I am the owner of dulcimer #2130 which I purchased from Mr. Ledford at his home in Winchester, KY. The dulcimer (and I) are, for the past 30 years, located in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. As I recall from our conversation at the time, the wood for my dulcimer was from the interior of some very old, perhaps one of the original buildings, located on the campus of Berea College which was under renovation. I believe it is poplar.
 
Best Wishes,
 
B. Michael Parrish
