From the Mailbag ...
Dear Lee .... I spoke on the phone with you less than a week ago, when you said that you would be able to finish a blue bag by the end of the week and ship it the following week. Well, it was like Christmas. The bag arrived on Friday and it is wonderful, with embroidery, quality outside and lining fabric and stitching, extra pockets, hooks, and a Velcro pouch to keep picks safe. It's a dream. Now I can attend workshops and leave at home the cardboard box with bubble wrap and styrofoam peanuts. Thank heavens for the internet so that I could find you. Barbara P (2/01/2010)
Lee ... The stands arrived safe and sound. Every one loves
them -- and are thrilled with the pen and notepad -- nothing like a freebie to
excite retired folks! Thank you so much. I am sure that when others in
the group see them, you will be getting more orders from Sun City Texas!

Lee, Wanted to let you know I received
the replacement strap today. Thank you so much for your prompt attention. I
know I will be telling others about your great service.

Hi Folks---I received the
bowed dulcimer stand several days ago. The craftsmanship of the stand is
absolutely wonderful (just like the craftsmanship of your dulcimer bags). The
quality of work that is displayed in the stand exceeds anything I had expected.
We can display it (with the BD) proudly with our other instruments. Thanks
for the care and attention you give to the items you both produce. Irwin,

Hi! The order arrived and those are the slickest music stands we've ever seen. They're so lightweight - no need to worry about banging the instruments against them - they slide across our wood floors with the greatest of ease! Absolutely fabulous!! Thank you so much. My husband is anxious to learn to play the spoons, and I'm looking forward to the CD and music book as well. Thank you so very much for the quality of your work and the prompt shipment. Kathy M (5/08)
Dear Lee ... The bowed dulcimer bag you made
me arrived today. All I can say is "wow"!!! It is so beautiful! I can't thank
you enough. I didn't know you would also do that beautiful embroidery on it with
the heart too. I love the color and everything about it. I am going to WCU
Winter Weekend next weekend to get my bowed dulcimer. I think the case is the
nicest I've ever seen. thank you so much for your beautiful craft work. I will
love it for years and years to come!! Sincerely, Renee
Hi Lee and Doug ... Just wanted to send you a
hello, and to tell you of my bag's adventures. My single bag has been back
and forth to the states 5 times!!!! It works very hard. I fit my Simerman
in there, then another dulci in a nylon slip bag behind it very tightly, AND my
strum stick beside it. Then on my last trip I was travelling with a tenor
Uke and could not afford to take my shoulder bag on the plane, so my mac laptop,
and my ticket stuff and book go in the front pocket!!!!!!!!!
I want to thank you for making a strong and versatile bag, because if anyone
was going to find the limits to it's endurance, it was going to be me.
When I first bought it I thought it would get my instruments home and maybe be
good for local fests where ZI didn't want to carry a hard case. Now all my
hard cases stay home. I would like to see a couple of side pockets for my
phone, pencil and note pad etc. as I think the beauty of them is that they
seem to sneak into most any overheads on planes. Only delta has refused, and I
now never
fly with them. Had my guitar badly damaged together with a ruined case
last trip, so overheads are really the way to go.
Only issue is dropping, as the headstocks are at
risk, but careful attention to looking out for and only handling it personally
should see me right. So thanks again for making something with enough
integrity that could forsee all the rigourous adventure I was going to put it
through and survive, with it's precious cargo intact.

Lee & Doug - I received my burgundy music stand, tote bag
and patches yesterday and I am thrilled with them. Your products are
certainly well-made and very attractive. I will enjoy them so much as I
play my dulcimer. Thanks - Danna D 8/07
Lee ... My order came in the mail yesterday and I wanted to let you know it arrived safely. I had placed my order sight unseen based on the recommendations from the people at the Everything Dulcimer site. The quality and the care that you put into your work are obvious and I am very pleased. Both of my Yocky’s fit perfectly and I love how plush the inside is; they will be well protected. I didn’t realize the bag was going to come decorated, what a nice touch! I’m going to start taking two dulcimers to my club meetings now, and I’ll be sure to tell everyone how much I like your products. Thanks again, Susan 6/07
We
are on the road several times during the year doing
festivals, but do receive our mail and e-mails while traveling. We do
carry an extensive inventory with us so we can ship immediately from wherever we
are. Occasionally, we will sell out of something, somewhere along
the way, and your order would be delayed until we get back home. We would
make you aware of the situation.
Thanks! ... Lee & Doug
Thanks for visiting with us. Stop by again, soon.
