Lynn McSpadden made his first dulcimer in 1962. While studying for the Seminary, his roommate brought in a dulcimer and showed him how to play. Lynn was fascinated. He decided to make one for himself.
Friends began asking Lynn to make them a dulcimer. And that's how the McSpadden Mountain Dulcimers started. Lynn never dreamt his dulcimers would be sold by dealers worldwide!

Pick up the quill", "Celebrating Folk tunes of old."
There was a moment when music was common in these Ozark hills.
Children dance to tunes of robins, blackbirds, and whip-poor-wills.
like wildflowers singing in harmony with Ozark Mountain melodies
Celebrate Folk tunes of old. Pick up the quill,
As Lynn McSpadden picked up the quill,
Gently strumming across the McSpadden Dulcimer's string
Wildflowers begin to sway as the choir stands to sing
I can hear the music still
As Lynn McSpadden picked up the quill,
Gently strumming across the McSpadden Dulcimer's string
Children dance to tunes of robins, blackbirds, and whip-poor-wills.
I can almost hear the music still.
.
Wildflowers grow in the springtime.
Sparrows singing after a summer rain,
I can almost hear the music still
I can almost hear the music still
I can almost hear the music still
