Bill Magee inherited his love for the dulcimer, a stringed instrument popular with traditional mountain musicians, from his father Rogers, who opened The Dulcimer Shop in 1971. Bill and his wife Jewel took over the shop in 2002 after retiring from their teaching careers. Today, they educate visitors about the dulcimer's history as well as the art involved in both making the instrument and the music it creates.
Coming up soon at BRAHM:
