http://www.ebay.com/itm/hammered-dulcimer-/321632047498
10 dollars on ebay as of this morning.
It is listed for parts, but is only missing one block (according to the seller) Can anyone tell me about this dulcimer? How much would it be if purchased new?

No way to guess about structural integrity.

Restringing can be a fairly big project on an intact, well adjusted instrument.

Given that, I wouldn't think about what it might have cost new, but instead take it as given - a "parts" project.

Might be interesting if you can pick it up locally and skip the eighty bucks shipping. . .
