Free Classified AdsOne of the most popular features here is the free "Classified Ads" area where you can sell or buy used instruments (hammered dulcimers, or other instruments) or other music related items (like dulcimer hammers, tuners, cases, etc.) There's also a category for folks who need to find a music instructor. And there's even listing where you can request folks contact you if they have items you're "looking for." Sadly this area has temporarily been deactivated. A hacker found a way through the script that ran this program and continually took over my many websites. I'm hoping to re-establish a classified area which is safer for my hosting environment. In the meanwhile, be aware that at no time were you or any visitors at risk, but being over-taken by hackers is no fun so I've decided to suspend this service. It will return in a safer format.

Welcome!We're pleased to be part of the wonderful community of folks who love hammered dulcimers and the music they produce. I don't want this to be a typical "sales" site. Even if you buy from another builder, I want you to feel this site was helpful. There's even the start of "Lessons" area. I've been selling dulcimers for Rick Thum since 2004. In 2009 there was a major change in the ownership of the Rick Thum's dulcimer business. His company, "Rick Thum Dulcimers," had provided two sizes of instruments (several different models). Last year Rick sold his "small instrument line" to a wood-worker friend, Jim Newman. Jim is now making the Meadowlarks, Wrens, Travelers and the "kits." They will carry the name "Jake's Cabin Dulcimers." Rick is building only the Professional. Jim's instruments will be built with the same attention to detail which was Rick's trademark. I now sell both Jim's and Rick's instruments. Why there's a dulcimers.biz websiteOver the years, I have received a great number of inquiries from visitors to the dulcimers.com website asking questions about buying a hammered dulcimer. I didn't start dulcimers.com with the intention of selling anything. In fact, when the opportunity was presented for me to become a distributor for Rick, I decided it was important to leave dulcimers.com commercial-free. (It's my gift to the dulcimer community.) I started this website: dulcimers.biz. It's more important that you get the right instrument than it is for me to sell one. There have been times when I've recommended other builders or suggested that someone go to another website, if I feel some other instrument would better fit the needs of the person who is inquiring. That's not the way to make sales, but it is the way I do business. Afterall, everyone says the music community is a large family. If you get an instrument, we'll be "related."
Have questions? Need help?If you are interested in buying a dulcimer (from dulcimers.biz), but feel better speaking to a "real" person, you can reach me at 989-781-0849 or 813-398-4135 (Florida number). (Both phone numbers forward to us no matter where we are.) I try not to neglect my "dulcimer" business. As a customer, or just visitor to my site, you're my guest, so you're my priority.
