I am indeed the dulcimer player, and we've never made it to Pennsic.
And please educate me further - I've only ever encountered one cutoff date for SCA: 1650. (Of course, I also haven't done SCA for about 15 years, either.)
And I have a reprint of the 1651 edition on my computer. :-) Which he would not have published "But that there was a false and surrepticious Copy at the Printing Presse, which if it had been published, would have been a disparagement to the quality and the Professors thereof, and a hinderance to the Learner". Some are set longways, some are set for four, some ("Gathering Peascods") are set for as many as will.
