BLUE LION HOME PAGE NEWS

We have a new website design--hope you like it! Let us know if you find problems or broken links and we'll get them fixed.

We're excited about two very special instruments which are now available for sale. We built two unique dulcimers–one to honor Jean Ritchie and one to honor Robert Force and Al d'Ossché. Read about them in the What's New column, below.

This photo of the conjunction of Venus and Saturn was taken from Blue Lion's "front porch" on the evening of November 30th. It was a spectacular sight!

WHAT'S NEW

The JEAN RITCHIE SPECIAL

We are pleased to announce the creation of this unique Jean Ritchie Special Mountain Dulcimer, built to honor and to thank Jean Ritchie for all she has done for Blue Lion and for the dulcimer community.

This instrument is one of a kind, with the back and sides being the last pieces from the same special walnut board used to build Jean's first Blue Lion. The dulcimer features an extended "hearts-a-flower" inlay and 25 year old Western red cedar soundboard.

The FORCE - d' OSSCHÉ SPECIAL

To honor Robert Force and Al d'Ossché and their remarkable contribution to the dulcimer world, we built this dulcimer from ultra fancy curly maple; this is the last set of back and sides from a board we cut during our first year in business (31 years ago!). The top is 28 year old spruce.

With premium woods and a special Tree of Life inlay, this instrument is elegant and unique—it is one of a kind.
