Prussia Valley Dulcimers
Gary Sager has been building Prussia Valley Dulcimers since 1992. He has been refining his design and honing his dulcimer building techniques since that time. The result has been dulcimers with rich tone, good volume and great sustain that will improve the sound even an already skilled player can obtain. Hammer-ons and pull-offs result in surprising clarity not often heard on mountain dulcimers. Great fit and finish, as well as playability are also important aspects of Gary's building. Gary to date has built more than 425 mountain dulcimers. Gary's workshop is located at his home near Waverly, ohio. Prussia Valley Dulcimers Music Shop is located in downtown Waverly.

Folkcraft & Folkroot
When people think of heirloom-quality instruments, they think of Folkcraft. Here's why: Our instruments are handmade in the United States of America, not in a cheap overseas factory. Our instruments are crafted one at a time, not on an assembly line. Our instruments are made of solid woods, not out of plywood.
Folkcraft instruments are made with pride and tradition, using the same methods as our founders used in 1968. Folkcraft Instruments is a family business, with two generations of luthiers putting their skill and experience into every instrument they create.

Vander Woude
The word dulcimer is made up of two words: the Latin word "dulce" meaning "sweet", and the Greek suffix "melos" meaning "song or tune". Jim's last name "van der Woude" is Dutch for "from the wood". A "Dulcimer by Vander Woude" is truly a sweet song from the wood.
