I would also recommend a McSpadden. If the instrument is ordered without having a chance to actually try it out, one can be assured the McSpadden will look nice, be accurately fretted, action set appropriately, and will sound good. It has been many years now since I built dulcimers in the McSpadden shop but we used to see a lot of instruments that were not really playable. That may no longer be true but it is a concern. I think they still ship outside the country. Finding a used instrument may also be an option. Again the McSpadden will be a good choice if one is available.
