I just saw a sheitholdt this last Saturday--July 10---at the Dulcimer Festival at Gephard Woods State Park in Morris, Illinois--on the Illinois-Michigan Canal. It was larger than the one in these photos of yours but pretty much the same. And I have a straight sided dulcimer hanging in our livingroom that looks much the same---but it is a dulcimer. Rich Olson made it in Chicago about 40 years ago---and I bought it for Carol.
