1980 Walnut Folkcraft Dulcimer, Repaired And Refurbished, Listen To This!

Here's a 1980 (46 years old now!) Folkcraft mountain dulcimer that I just finished refurbishing. I added a 1 1/2 fret and strap buttons, made a new nut and bridge (set up for three-string playing), fixed an open seam between the fretboard and the body (there was a bit of white paint on the end of the head, I suspect this instrument took a fall at some point in its life, which is probably what caused the joint to open up in the first place. After all the mechanical work (above) was done, I leveled all the frets, and dressed the ends, so I was able to get a nice, low action - the dulcimer plays like a dream now.
