Okay, as the title says, I got questions. I have a dulcimer, the trapezoid one, that I rescued from the dumpster years ago. I couldn't let a instrument of any kind go to the trash heap. So now, I'm looking for a better home for my found treasure. It sounds beautiful, but how would I go about appraisal? Does older mean better? 1989 sticker inside. What can I use to best clean it? It's heavy as hell and I don't want to strip any polish or varnish that's been applied to it.
