Electric!

After playing with an electric dulcimer at Unicoi last year, that has been on the list of dulcimers that I wanted to own. I also played another electric dulcimer at the Colorado Dulcimer Festival, which made me want one even more. But since I am saving up for a laptop I couldn't buy one.

So I was very excited when my first dulcimer teacher, Miss Lynn, surprised me a beautiful electric dulcimer given to me and made by Mr. Ray Anthony. Mr. Anthony had built one for his grandson, Bradley Ellis (who had played the same instrument as I had at Unicoi), and had enough materials to make a second one for me!

It is a beautiful electric dulcimer with a great electric sound! I am looking forward to playing a completely different kind of dulcimer.

Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Anthony
