Subject: RE: Jean Ritchie dulcimer w geared tuners?
I hope you can make it work out for you. If not the JohnP's Grover's are an option. You might also try a local luthier as I suggested and depending on where you live that might work out. Warren May in Berea Kentucky makes extemely beautiful Appalachian Dulcimers and makes his own pegs too. Especially with a vintage instrument made by Jean's Uncle-in-law you might consider that...........

BTW....Before her stroke back in 2009, Jean used to post here some good bit and it was always great info when she did as well as being her own good friendly self. We've had some guest posts from her since but if you want to read her postings 2000-2009, CLICK HERE

Hope you decide to hang around too. We have a ton of App dulcimer threads.....Welcome to the 'Cat
