first time i ever saw one,, Actor Fess Parker on the Daniel Boone show,,gotta 50+ years ago,, i like what you do,, but guitar since ‘68. God Bless,,& keep strumming!!
What a wonderful article! Mike and Connie Clemmer, and their employees are so welcoming and willing to answer questions they must have heard a million times. That patience and love of sharing music is exactly what comes through with Mike's instruments.
5:47 what are those two instruments? The one on the right looks like an acoustic bass guitar with extra thick gut strings, the one on the left looks like the same thing but with thinner, metal strings. However, you would have a hard time playing the one on the left like a traditional guitar because the sound board goes up all along the fretboard, making it hard to use your left hand to do chords...
Wow!! An excellent video for information. I enjoyed it. Just learning to play one
Met them last week, they are great people
I recently developed a fascination with woodworking because I'd like to become a dulcimer luthier just like him.

In the Greater Memphis area - and beyond - there are a few dulcimers made by the late, great Robert L. Dickey. He was my wife's father.

Is Mike still making these beauties! I think I need one in wormy walnut!
Beautiful craftsmanship sir!
Enjoyed the great video! I love the dulcimer Mike Clemmer made for me. Thanks, Mike.
