McSpadden Dulcimer for Sale/NOTE: THIS DULCIMER HAS BEEN SOLD.
“McSpadden dulcimer for sale. Price $195.00. Very nicely walnut grained dulcimer built from a 100% McSpadden kit, by a dulcimer builder. No scratches or dings. It notes perfectly, built for 4 strings – I was only using 3. I am more than willing to meet with someone, let them play and check the noting for correctness of tuning. I’m sure they will find it a very good instrument, especially for the money. I will give them a week to take it home to play. If they change their mind, they can bring it back to me in Mt. Juliet, and I will give them back their money.”
