I own two dulcimers. One I made in the seventies from door veneer. It is available to children who want to play with an instrument while visiting our house. I also have a very nice dulcimer with spruce top and rosewood back and sides that I bought at a yard sale 30 years ago. It is an hourglass with four strings. It has no name indicating who built it and the sound holes are shaped like a stemless four leaf clover. I tune mine DDG.

Ollaimh, I'm pleased that you said that you "bought" it on ebay. It annoys me to hear people say they "won" something on ebay. You were willing to pay more than anyone else, but you still bought it.
