EDD PRESNELL 6-String Cherry Dulcimer for Sale

[BILL HOWARD]

This instrument looks like it has never been played.  It is in beautiful condition,
as the photos will show.

I bought it in partnership with another collector several years ago.
Later, I bought his interest in it.  It has been in my large collection since.
We paid $1350 for it then.  I am asking $1350 for it now.  The price includes a
good hard case, and the Insured UPS shipping is free.

Now I need to sell all of my collection, at the suggestion of my wife.  At my age of 
almost 89, she does not want to have to deal with selling it later on, as she has
no real knowledge of them, and "wouldn't know what in the world to do with them".

It will be shipped via Insured UPS from Tulsa, Oklahoma, well cushioned in its hard case.

If you have questions about the dulcimer, please get in touch with me.  I am retired, so 
i am usually available to respond in a reasonable time.  Message me through this site.

Hi Bill,

Just wanted to know if this beautiful Presnell dulcimer is sold and if you are posting the balance of your collection on this site as well? I have not been playing dulcimer but for a few years and started very late in life. I am not much of a strummer and mainly do old ballads and slower songs because nerve issues and cancer has affected motor skills. It would most likely be better for me to convert this one to a 3 or 4 string for that reason. Do you think one like this would work or do you have another more suited to my style? I like warmer sounding dulcimers...less traditional. Thanks for your thoughts.

I have some others that might be better suited to playing.

This Presnell is more of a collector's item i think.

Let me get some photos together this evening, and I will
send them to you to see if any of them would interest you.

Thanks for your inquiry.

Sir, I am having some computer trouble transferring photos.

But if you would not mind lookiing on another site (FOTMD.com), I have two dulcimers
listed there that might meet your need. There are multiple photos of each one.

One is the Bear Meadow dulcimer, and one is the Gila Mountain Dulcimer.

Both are 4-string, and the Gila Mountain has an  internal sound pickukp.
They both were bought new, and have only just been strummed a few times,
to demonstrate them in showing my collection.  Details are listed with each one. 

If you would go there to look at them, and let me know what you think, I
will try to resolve the issue i am having in transferring the photos.

Thanks,

Bill Howard

Hello Bill,

what is the vibrating string length (which is probably about the same as the body length) on this beautiful instrument?

 Thanks,

Kenny

Do you have other Presnells to sell or perhaps a Stanley Hicks dulcimer in search of a new home?

Bill -- probably best if you create a list of the dulcimers you're selling with peroces and post THAT here -- rather than having a bunch of people aske the same questions over and over...
