2130	1971			0046					12/9/2007 Hello, I am the owner of dulcimer #2130 which I purchased from Mr. Ledford at his home in Winchester, KY. The dulcimer (and I) are, for the past 30 years, located in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. As I recall from our conversation at the time, the wood for my dulcimer was from the interior of some very old, perhaps one of the original buildings, located on the campus of Berea College which was under renovation. I believe it is poplar. Best Wishes, B. Michael Parrish

2208	1972			YP-1900	Pipitone, Roy	255 Tennyson Terrace	Williamsville	NY	2/1/2008 Homer Ledford stayed in my home in 1974 when he was participating in an Applachian Festival at SUNY Buffalo.  Homer spent three nights and three days with my then husband and four young children.  Our youngest, Gabrielle Lyn, received a great deal of kindness and attention from Homer.  He would ask about her this way --"Now where is the least one?"  When it was time for Homer to return to his home in Winchester, he gave our family one of his beloved dulcimers #2208 and I played it and treasured it for two years until my husband and I divorced.  I had hoped to receive it as part of the divorce settlement, but it was not to be.  I always missed that dulcimer and thought of Homer many times.  Christmas 2006, my children's father saw fit to return this beloved dulcimer to me and I recently had it tuned.  It is a beautiful instrument and I plan to learn to play it once again after so many years.  I wonder if anyone can tell me how to value this beautiful instrument for insurance purposes. Thank you, Shari Delisle, Ph.D.

2272	1972			YP-1900	Rose, Todd		Lexington	KY	1/17/11 Homer Ledford built dulcimer #2272 for me when I lived in Lexington, Kentucky.  I am an architect. Homer and I spoke at length about the top material to be used for my dulcimer. He chose to build the top out of salvaged yellow poplar from the Howard Hall Dormitory at Berea College (1867). The legacy of that building has resonated in my dulcimer since Homer lovingly crafted her.  What a beautiful instrument. I see "craft" dulcimers, all of the time, and am appalled. I am proud to say that the instrument is in A-1 condition and has lived in its case when not being played.
