I just received my zither, earlier than expected! It is beautiful and I'm already playing it. Thank you for your workmanship and care in creating a lovely instrument. I happen to play violin, viola, cello, mandolin, hammered dulcimer, and am excited to add this layer of sound to my husband and my ensemble. Blessings, Karey read more

James shares his love for other musicians as much as he takes care of creating and perfecting his instruments. On his webpage, I see the care he takes in listing independent musicians so that he can give them his support. He is generous in heart and spirit and thought he deserves a big acknowledgement of the effort he put into trying to help others while perfecting his craft. When it comes to handcrafted musical instruments, he's your man. He has his own wood shop where he creates everything in. Tell him Phil sent you. read more

From the Business

Specialties

I have been building fine custom musical instruments since 1978 in rural Bedford, Virginia. Working alone in a wood shop I designed and built, I have developed designs for ten different acoustic instruments. Although I specialize in hammered dulcimers, I also build bouzoukis, folk harps, Appalachian dulcimers, bowed psalteries, two octave zithers, slit drums, thumb pianos, mandolins and the occasional guitar.

History

Established in 1978.

I make and sell instruments through my shop here in Bedford County.

Poor Farmer's Market

I swung by a place next door for lunch. They were crazy busy though and I saw on Yelp that this…read moreplace did sandwiches so I decided to give them a try. It was barely controlled chaos in the store to say the least. It was a Saturday when I swung through, so all of the tourists from the Blue Ridge Parkway were stopping by for their tourist shopping fix. So I don't blame the chaos on the store so much as the tourists acting all rude and entitled, shoving their way around the store. I digress. The deli sandwich I had was very good, and made promptly. I also had a homemade brownie which had the perfect amount of sweetness and walnut ratio to it. I wanted to try the Possum Pie but just get the nerve up to ask what was in it. I mean it couldn't have been real possum could it? They do have limited outside tables. I was lucky enough to snag one but you may want to pick your food up here and then plan for a nice picnic on one of the parkways scenic pullouts.

I have enjoyed this destination for its uniqueness and scenery. Would not mind having a place to…read morelive near this market. Great food, reasonably priced.
