WAITLISTING ORDERS SUSPENDED
For the time being, we are no longer accepting orders to be placed on our waitlist. We are at least a year out to complete the orders already in place and we don't want to keep adding orders at this point.
We are not able to work as long in the shop as we used to and it is taking longer to complete a production run due to various factors well beyond our control.
We are not retiring and we are not planning on closing Blue Lion anytime soon. We just need some time to catch up.
For those of you already on our waitlist, rest assured we are still planning on building your instruments.
Thank you all for your patience and understanding.

FIRST RUN OF 2023
We have begun the first production run of 2023 and are currently completing the fretboard inlays and thicknessing the backs and sides of the instruments. The soundboards have had the soundholes cut and are aslo being thicknessed.
We've had a spell of very cold wet weather and this limits what we can and can't accomplish in the shop. But we are working on what we can and making progress.
From Janita...
A good friend suggested I let you all know that I miss teaching and seeing all my friends from the various workshops. Out here in the rural mountains of California's Central Coast the available internet service is not fast enough to support my participation in the online workshops.
Due to a family situation I won't be able to attend any festivals this year--I was so looking foreward to seeing you all in person at events such as Menucha, KMW and Dulcimer U!
Please support these events--without your presence they may not be able to continue and life without the community of dulcimer players getting together in person to learn and share would be quite sad.
Keep playing music and stay tuned!!!
