Hotplant Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 I fiddle with it. I love that you don't need a degree in music to play and make lovely "noise." And my ring fingers aren't an issue. oh...BTW...Nice new forum. Quote

redeyedrichard Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 I can play it....not to a hugely high standard though. That's an instrument I am yet to buy. My friend had one and I used to go and play that. I haven't really included it on my list of playable instruments though because I can't really say I can. But I should be getting one soon. My bro can play the hammer dulcimer. Beautiful sound. I am also going to get a strumstick...it is a similar thing to the dulcimer. Based around the major scale so you can literally get a tune out of it straight away. I'll post a pic when I get one. Beautiful instruments indeed. Quote
JethroTull Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Dulcimers are so cool. Couple of years ago I attended a holiday performance by a legendary female dulcimer player whose name escapes me. Quote

And my ring fingers aren't an issue. oh...BTW...Nice new forum. Same as you Hotplant. We had one in our home when I was young that I would play around with just for fun. I should find out which one of my siblings has it now..... Quote
redeyedrichard Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Ah, this is embarrassing, but what is a Dulcimer? Maybe its something I've seen before but I've never heard of it. Google is your friend. there are some pretty cool videos on YouTube. I would post some links but I am lazy at the moment....well....replace 'lazy' with 'unwell'. Quote
~Isis~ Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 I have a dulcimer that was made by a local musician here in my town. However, the frets are arranged in a way that is just atypical of any of the dulcimers I've seen. I try to play it, but it sounds really weird. Not like a dulcimer at all. So I guess I play it, but not really well. Quote
