Folkway Music is proud to be the only Canadian dealer of Blue Lion Musical Instruments, considered to be the finest dulcimers made. Made in California by Bob and Janita Baker, these dulcimers have earned a reputation for the highest standards of craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail, and show the pride and pleasure taken in their construction. These are hard to get, with a long waiting list, but we try to keep several of these in stock.
