Bill Spence (born August 12, 1940 in Iowa City, Iowa) is a hammered dulcimer player from New York. Bill took up the hammered dulcimer after hearing Howie Mitchell play at the 1969 Fox Hollow Festival in Petersburgh, New York. He made his first dulcimer following a plan in Mitchell's book on building your own dulcimer. The only hammered dulcimer recordings available at the time were one by Mitchell, and another by Chet Parker on the Folkways label. Wikipedia
