Comments on the
Galax
Multiple-purchase customer Greg Gunner says, "The Gaskins/Melton Dulcimer arrived safely today... It is a real beauty. The consistent high quality of your instruments continues to amaze me. It has a wonderful 'swarm of bees' sound that makes Galax-style dulcimers so unique, and the workmanship is top-notch."

Lisa Johnson reports, "My new graceful and beautiful cherry Galax dulcimer performed outstandingly at a big Old Time music gathering recently... Not only could I hear myself... others could hear my notes ... [and] complimented the rich tone of my new instrument... The height of the instrument, the hollow fretboard, and the 'false back'... contribute to producing a clear and beautiful tone... Despite its power and sturdy build, it plays like silk... ."

John Michael Greer:
"The monochord arrived yesterday afternoon.  What can I say? It's wonderful--a first-rate research tool and a fine musical instrument all in one. Beautiful tone, beautiful workmanship, and an exact fit to the details I needed. Many, many thanks for crafting this instrument of another age."
