1840's Ohio Dulcimer on US Ebay

[ceadach]

Hi all,

I saw this and thought I'd post about it. I saw this antique dulcimer on Ebay. cgi.ebay.com/C-1840-Pegged-Red-Painted-Wooden-Hammer-Dulcimer-Ohio-/120580554282?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c13293e2a


The state of Ohio was settled heavily by Ulster Scots (calling themselves "Scots-Irish" here) amongst other nationalities (German speaking peoples were another large group). This instrument is quiet large but with few courses. Interesting things pop up on Ebay!

Take care,
Chad

Thanks for the info, Chad. I believe my husband's family is "Scots-Irish". I didn't really know which area they were from, until now.
