Visiting family in new orleans, I want to help them find a dulcimer. Do you know of locations that have good used ones?

Not a lot of dulcimer players in New Orleans. There are used dulcimers, but it is hit or miss. You will just have to call around. You might have better luck on E-bay or internet dulcimer sites such as Elderly Instruments, Prussia Dulcimer Store by Gary Gallier or the Everything Dulcimer WEB site. There’s an active dulcimer group in the Covington area north of the lake. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
