WHAT OWNERS OF BONNIE CAROL DULCIMERS SAY ABOUT THEM:

"I heard several comments about your dulcimers this weekend at the Claremont, CA festival. Along with the great sound, there was a resounding agreement that you have the best taste and use of wood." Connie Allen, San Diego, California

"Every class I went to at a festival in Vermont last weekend, someone would ask me if they could have a closer look at my dulcimer. I haven't had so much attention since my strapless gown spun around at a dance. Thanks for making me the Belle of the Ball." Jane Mazzotta, Moodus, Connecticuit

"I own 63 dulcimers now, and my two Bonnie Carol dulcimers are the ones I play the most." Bill Lee, San Antonio, Texas

Thanks ever so much. Words cannot convey what is in my heart." Phil Mason, Cape Coral, Florida

"I just want to tell you how much I enjoy my dulcimer. I play it nearly every day. It helped me compose my very first song. Its incredible voice has accompanied me at a wedding, a memorial service, and some community celebrations . . . but mostly it just sings to me. Thanks so much for building such a wonderful instrument." Robert Bellows, Boulder Colorado.
