GUEST,Okiemockbird Help: Mountain dulcimer history (29) RE: Help: Mountain dulcimer history 07 Aug 00

markf, thanks for the qualifying info about dulcimers as consort instruments. And yes, the dulcimer was known outside the pockets I mentioned. I should have said something like "mainly" rather than "only". Most examples of pre-1940 hourglass and teardrop-shape dulcimers were made in the places I mentioned. Straight-sided dulcimers have a wider pre-1940 distribution. I'm sorry about the careless wording.
