Celebrating 150 years! Originating right here in Knott County as early as 1871, the dulcimers of James Edward Thomas were unlike anything ever seen on the Cumberland frontier. An elegant, slender, three-stringed instrument; its lightness and angelic tone informed 20th century folk music from Jean to Joni. This icon is now available again, lovingly reproduced by mountain people with Appalachian tonewoods at our Hindman shop.
