BLUE LION HOME PAGE NEWS

We're busy in the shop this spring, working on a new run of stands and our customers' orders.

We're happy to report that the Jean Ritchie Special has a home with a wonderful dulcimer player who has been studying Jean Ritchie and collecting information about her and her influence on the mountain dulcimer.

This month we celebrate our 32 years of Blue Lion dulcimers and guitars.

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. Click here for more information		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. Click here for more information
