Jeff

[David Case]

I am located in Alexandria, Virginia where I build custom acoustic guitars and hammered dulcimers under the name of Alexandria Woods.

 

I posted the pictures of the buttonbox under my hammered dulcimer website for convenience sake.

 

Kindest regards,

David

Thanks David

I was going to suggest I pop on by to check out the Lily

I decided to pass...

I am 50 miles from the Pacific Ocean

 

The instrument appears to be in excellent and rarely played or "kindly" played condition.. is this so?

Jeff:

 

The instrument has been kindly played and very well taken care of. I appreciate a fine instrument (hence my passion for the luthier profession). I just find myself with 2 more buttonboxes than I can play at any one time. I also have a Tommy and a Mory.

 

Regards,

Hi-- I am thining of buying a Hascy, also G/C, like yours, and changing some notes in the G row to make it like a B/C. Are you happy with yours? Is the stepped keyboard a disadvantage, do you think?

Please email to me direct, if you would, at david@dlevine.net.

Thanks so much.
