My friend Paul Metsers home in Kendal was burgled last night and his 6 string Sobell Appalachian Dulcimer was stolen. Can anyone who sees or hears of one of these rare instruments being offered for sale please let me know and do anything possible to notify the police etc. They also broke the neck on his Sobell Mandocello. Some of you will heard of Paul who is a singer songwriter most famous for his song Farewell to the Gold. He's had the dulcimer since the 80s and written many songs on it so he needs it back soon!! Thanks

I friend of mine recently recovered stolen items as a direct result of sharing the story on Facebook. Include photos and serial numbers if possible and ask all musicians to share.
I remember seeing Paul back in the 70s.

That's really good news. So, the internet is not all evil. What really struck me about the original post was that the burglars/bastards had broken the neck on the mandocello.
I do hope it can be repaired.

Bravo to the internet.
Great news Chris. Did they catch the thieves or just get the instrument back?
Cheers, marcus
