I started playing 4 years ago. Been retired for 3 years. It's the most rewarding thing I've ever done. Just curious if anyone else enjoys my passion. I have more info about the subject if anyone is interested.

Is that the thing always played during Sunday morning outdoors shows?

What is the difference between a hammer dulcimer and a mountain dulcimer?

Curiosity raised, I found this:

Joni Mitchell plays a dulcimer

My dad has a mountain dulcimer that I have messed around with. Neither of us can really play it though.

So you played for a year?


I don't play but I've done a little work promoting the dulcimer shops in Mountain View, AR. They have a nice rustic sound, it's real roots and bluegrass stuff. Always a good time.

One day I'll get up to Winnfield, KS for the world championship competitions.

Check these guys out. They are one of the few bands that feature a dulcimer. I really like their sound.
