No, no, no!  Not Madeline the school girl.  Only Madeline the French perfume 
will do <g>

However, to answer your question, no hammered dulcimer.  I have a 
mountain/Appalachian dulcimer that my b-i-l made for me.  Plus 2 violins 
(one made by Uncle Henry in the 1800s), a Rickenbacker 12 string, a 
Moonstone, a Peavy, a very sweet little bass, an acoustic and a keyboard. 
Had a player piano and have played the organ and a harpsicord made in the 
1700s that belonged to Spreckles.

However, I looked it up and it is quite interesting.

Lynda, wondering if b-i-l could make one of those, hmmmmmm.
