re Stefan Sobel Dulcimers
He made the last batch of 5 in the mid 80's around 1984. 4 Rosewoods and a mahogany , all 6 stringers. The late Phil Ranson got one of the rosewoods and I got the mahogany. Since then it has been thrashed in sessions and at festivals sometimes without mercy. It stays in tune and I only have had to change the strings twice in 20 plus years. I waited more than 2 years to get it, with much pestering from me. I would not change it for the world.
As far as value I guess £600 would NOT replace it.
I am first time blogger but have read many of the articles
