In September 1963, Elgia C. Hickok founded the Original Dulcimer Players Club in Michigan. It was the first dulcimer club in America. Through his efforts and the club, people were introduced to the captivating sounds of the hammered dulcimer. The role of Mr. Hickok and the ODPC in the revival of the hammered dulcimer in America, is documented in the Smithsonian publication, The Hammered Dulcimer in America by Nancy Groce, published in 1983. The ODPC created a market for the instrument and builders started building again. The younger generation learned from the older generation how to build and play. The revival was born and continues today.
