Frank Rice (dates unknown)
Frank Rice lived in Newton Flotman, eight miles south of Norwich. He was a Trades and Crafts training officer.
Frank took lessons from Billy Bennington in his retirement to brush up his forgotten skills, and played Country and Western music, hymns and Noel Coward songs, using only beaters.
Our only information came from David Kettlewell, and it has not proved possible to find out any more about Frank Rice to date.
After a few changes of hands, the dulcimer made its way back to Norfolk and is now in the capable hands of Richard Blake.
