- Illustrated with sound and images, this lecture by Dr. Ron Pen surveys the broad sweep of dulcimer history and then examines the negotiation of conservative and progressive forces through the lens of influential luthiers with a focus on Kentucky craftspeople including Ed Thomas, Will Singleton, McKinley Craft, Jethro Amburgey, John Jacob Niles, Homer Ledford, and Warren May. The contrasting gravity of tradition and the forward motion of transformation become resolved in the life of the contemporary dulcimer with a glance at current craftspeople and musicians.

Hi to Joellen, meeting her and Terry Hennessy at McCabes was a thrill. Fortunate to have purchased a beautiful dulcimer from Terry, and thank you for the detailed history of the dulcimer in Appalachia.
