Four Generations

Margaret Wright sent me this photo long ago. My dulcimer design is about six generations removed from JE "uncle Ed" Thomas. These are the latest four generations. From left to right, the dulcimers were made by Homer Ledford, Bob Mize, Larry Barringer, Terry McCafferty

Seventeen Years Apart

Bonnie Hornbeck sent me this photo of her two McCafferty's. The one on the right was made in 2000 and the one on the left 2017.
