You are an excellent teacher. I had a dulcimer made for me back in 1984, but couldn't find a teacher so I put it away until now. Thank you for getting me started to truly learn this beautiful instrument!

Love your teaching and can't wait until my new strings and picks that you recommended arrive. my dulcimer is set up for four strings but I'm going to start with only three. Thank you for taking your time to teach me.

@@BanjoLemonade Now that I'm changing the strings (because of an old broken string) and new picks as well. I noticed that the nut and bridge were broken :( It took me two hours to chisel out the old glued-in plywood ones. I ordered a new set from Folkcraft. (happy happy) What a great company by the way. I called and left a message AND THE GENTLEMAN ACTUALY CALLED ME BACK. Great talk too. I'll get this 15-year-old $99.00 China dulcimer up and running soon. :) Hey, you gotta start somewhere. I figured out that it was a Kentucky-style teardrop. :) Now, with your help, I'll learn how to play at least one great gospel song, hopefully "In Christ Alone" :) p.s., that's all I want to play, old hymnals. Thank you so much for your videos and God Bless :)

Thank you for this. I have had my dulcimer about a week and I am so lost when it has come to finding some actually helpful videos. I have been watching your videos because I really, so badly want to learn to play this beautiful instrument. Your videos have been quite helpful so far. Thank you from out here in California. Jesus loves you too!

Love watching your videos. I've been thinking of purchasing a mountain dulcimer and have been researching for the last 2 to 3 months. Just curious, what is the vsl on the dulcimer you are using in the video.

oh it’s real long - 28.5” I had to sell it because my hands and wrists were hurting. Now I play a 25” and love it so much.

I have a 5 string dulcimer and my fingers are not thick enough to fret both bass or treble string without using the whole finger. What can I do? Also thank you for the wonderful banjo and dulcimer videos. Greetings from Kentucky.
@BanjoLemonade3 жыл бұрын
All I can think of is to try putting all your fingers down and your thumb goes down like this (all fingers first fret, thumb at 3rd). Just so you understand what I mean there, then you can just put your thumb at the edge of the fretboard. Sorry but I haven’t tried a 5 string.
@jazzcatt Жыл бұрын
The one and only 5 string I've seen was made so you could remove one of the doubled strings and still have the strings evenly spaced. If yours is like that you could try it.
