There was a burglary at Melody Music, in Houston Texas last Friday night. Many harps, hammered dulcimers and dulcimers were stolen in a well planned raid. The list of items and serial numbers is: Dusty FH36S Stave Bubinga SN 6296 L&H Lyric mahogany SN 1079L Walnut R Harp (22 strings) no SN Venus Prodigy Pedal Harp – dark walnut SN 2896 Venus Premier Pedal Harp – light walnut SN 2975, this harp will have at least a dent at the top as we can tell they probably used it to open the door, some finish can be seen at the top of the door, same height as the harp. McSpadden Sweet Song Dulcimer walnut SN 4744 McSpadden Sweet Song Dulcimer spruce top SN 4361 McSpadden Ginger Mountain Dulcimer SN 44968 Dusty Strings Prelude Hammered Dulcimer package (case) SN 4802 Dusty Strings Overture Hammered Dulcimer SN 3670 Dusty Strings D500 Hammered Dulcimer SN 3572 Dusty String Masterworks 12-11 Hammered Dulcimer SN 3935 Dusty Strings Apprentice Hammered Dulcimer package (case) SN 4667-02 None of these instruments have cases with them except the HD packages, all had warranty card attached except the Overture – we found that warranty card on the floor. So, keep on the lookout for any suspicious looking intrument sales. Helen |
