Appalachian Dulcimers

The dulcimer is one of the earliest American instruments, says May.

Many country collectors have an appreciation for hand-crafted instruments, which is why you'll often see a dulcimer maker at a country crafts or antiques show. Warren May's finely crafted Appalachian dulcimers are exquisitely made to bring out the natural beauty of the wood, often down to the occasional rough edge or natural knothole used to form the hole in his dulcimers. Each piece is unique. May not only shows us how he creates his works of art, he also gives us a lesson in wood, talking about the attributes of various types of wood, how the colors change with age, care of fine wood and what to look for when buying.
