This 4-string dulcimer was built by well known luthier Warren May.
This instrument was built by J. Mozken. It is diatonic (i.e., no "extra frets), has 5-strings and is the 884th dulcimer built by this luthier.
The builder of this diatonic dulcimer is unknown, but it would be a good "starter" instrument.
