Jim Wells has donated a charming zither. Don Maclane is bringing some of his custom carbon fiber hammers. Jason Hoover is donating a metal print (a great way to print photos!) of one of his original photographs. Dick Dery is donating a collection of instructional materials. Zap us any pictures of items you’re donating!
Don Maclane, local and brilliant engineer/inventor, is donating some of his work. He writes, “Here is a batch of carbon fiber shafted (way stiffer than Sam’s) hammers that I will bring for the circus.” Don’s referring to Sam Rizzetta’s carbon fiber shafted hammers.
Don is referring to some somewhat floppy carbon fiber shafted hammers that our genius and dear friend Sam Rizzetta brought to the ‘Vous. Sam, always a pioneer in hammer dulcimer design, did a lot of great experimentation with carbon fiber. (The carbon fiber strips in the long rails of my Dusty Strings D670 work wonders at helping the hammerbox hold it’s tune!)
Howard Low C – nice mellow tone, reach not too bad for a C. Came from a “seconds” batch, very minor cosmetic flaws but still plays perfectly.
Howard Low D – good workhorse whistle! Purchased around 2000, and played heavily since. Fipple was replaced around 2016 with a newer design from the maker.
Nightingale Low E whistle by Alexander Karavayev – Decent whistle, good volume and tone, but above average air requirements. Non-tunable model.
