"Jim Couza and the Hammered Dulcimer." Didn't he build some of his dulcimers himself, which would be sort of on-topic? I remember seeing him play one built from a stainless steel sink and drainer - he threatened to play Handel's "Water Music" but instead played something Caribean, I think, with the dulcimer taking on a resemblance to steel pan drums.

David Grisman and his F-5 Lloyd Loar Gibson mandolin "Crusher". Not too long ago he did an album on his Acoustic Disc label in which he invited a number of great mandolinists to record a track dueting with guitarists playing his early '30's OM-45 Martin. Some really good stuff.

I failed to make clear that all the mandolinists played the aforementioned "Crusher" on the LP which, btw, is called "Tone Poets" and features a wide variety of musical styles.

Our own Seamus Kennedy would plead modesty and accuse me of gushing that I'm including him in such hifalootin' company-- but his guitar:
