Thread Name: Lego dulcimer
Subject: Lego dulcimer
I was surfing the NPR website under "Music" and came on this story:

"Weekend Edition - Sunday, February 6, 2005 ยท The traditional mountain dulcimer, with its strings stretched the length of an oblong wood box, provides a distinctive profile that has endured for generations.

Dulcimer enthusiast Peter Alway of Ann Arbor, Mich., cast aside tradition to build the instrument out of Legos.

And it works, as he demonstrates for Sheilah Kast."

Anybody we know???
