[SketchbookWorks]

Wow, you're incredible.

I've always wanted one of those instruments.

[shanifawni]

thanks Queenie :)

[mjs004]

Very nice Shani! Is it a hard instrument to learn?

[cerdoselassie]

sure it is

[shanifawni]

well, since i've played some string intruments, to get started is not tooo hard, like, what i've done here is pretty simple, but just like with uke, you can do a lt of simple stuff real easy but the more complicated stuff gets harder and harder. there are some people out there who do some craaaazy stuff with it.

[fourteentwelve]

That was awesome Shani! I've subscribed to your dulcimer channel now. I can't wait to see what you do with it. My first experience with a dulcimer was seeing a guy busking with one - he had it hooked up to a looping machine, and was doing all sorts of really cool stuff with it.  It totally blew me away.

[shanifawni]

dang! that sounds crazy-cool!

and thanks michelle! its much appreciated! :)

[sorikku]
