Arthur Lusher (1871-1961) |
A friend of English dulcimer player Sue Harris asked us to find out more about a dulcimer he owns which has a maker’s label inside. The label says it was made in 1947 by Arthur C. Lusher. The printed addresses on the label are 7 Murray Place, Cheshunt, Herts & Caxton Cottage, Diss, Norfolk. However, these have been crossed out and Clyst Hydon, Devon written in. His family in Diss were in the printing business – hence the fancy printed labels and the address in Diss: ‘Caxton Cottage’.
