THE CINCINNATI DULCIMER SOCIETY

The Cincinnati Dulcimer Society

Cincinnati's Sweet Music Club

Our Founders

Marilyn Kraft (right) founded the Cincinnati Dulcimer Society in 1979. She held high belief that the Appalachian, or lap dulcimer music and craft would not be lost to our region. Thanks to her, our club has been in existence for over 40 years and kicked off a large revival of this sweet instrument. Seated with Marilyn (left) is Helen Blackburn, who helped Marilyn for many years to establish our club.
