Were can I purchase a Cordura case for my dulcimer??
Dusty Strings also sells Cordura Cases. Because sizes of instruments vary, I recommend you contact them directly with the dimensions (width along the bottom rail and along the top rail, heighth–bottom rail TO top rail–and depth). If that won’t work, Colorado Case Company (http://coloradocase.com/), Blue Heron (http://www.blueheroncases.com/) and also make custom cases. Let us know if we can help further!
Steve – i would like to contact you about taking private hammered dulcimer lessons, but cannot find your contact info on the website. What is best way to reach you? thanks … Nan
