Hey Guys,
Thanks for the replies and support! I had other people say dulcimer. Who knew!?!?!?
Yes yes, I am very excited! I currently have it quarantined in a plastic bag because there is evidence, in the form of a number of small holes, of a past or present presence of wood worms. I think they are long gone, but if not I am keeping them away from my guitars and mandolin just in case! (Not to mention my book shelves!)
I am going to get it looked at eventually and see how much it would cost to get it repaired. I have no gauge of the worth of an instrument like this, but even if it is worth something, I feel that serendipity placed this little guy in my home, so it is only my duty to learn how to play it!
I'll get some pics up after the refurbish!
Thanks again!
