Gary Sager

Gary became interested in the Mountain Dulcimer in 1991 after seeing David Schnaufer's "Fischer's Hornpipe" video on CMT.

He built a dulcimer in late 1991, then began building seriously in 1992 and has been building and playing since that time. Gary, along with wife Toni are the owners of "Prussia Valley Dulcimers Music Shop", opening in 2001 in Waverly, Ohio where they also reside.

Gary has taught mountain dulcimer playing workshops at many festivals in the mid-west and southeast as far as Key West, FL, performing at many of these as well. Gary's first experience in recording was playing accompaniment on Doug Felt's "A Little of This & A Little of That" CD. Later, Gary and Toni made their first CD, “Rats In the Fence Corner”, recorded, engineered and mastered by Stephen Seifert.

Gary is also the author of a mountain dulcimer tablature book “Other Tunes For the Appalachian Dulcimer”, an eclectic selection of tunes not usually heard on the instrument.
