Hahaha cool! You have a comment from the niece of the inventor of the SweetStick - here's a comment from the Great Grandson of Luke Thomasson, the writer of the song! Good job!
I hope you are still loving your SweetStick! I still play mine everyday. I posting some of the new music I have been working on with my "Stick". Give em a listen if you get a chance.
You're right, it's not quite in tune as it's just a bit flat, but not too much. I'm sure she'll hold a better tune before long. It just need to acclimate to its new environment!
Sounds really cool! I wish I had one of those to use on my recordings.
Awesome.. I've played one of these at a music shop once. I like playing dulcimers too. I have an Indian instrument called a "gopichand" that's only 1 string and has an old violin-type tuner. It's cool though, you squeeze 2 pieces of wood to change pitches and stuff. I'll do a video soon :)
Hey thats pretty cool! I've never seen one of those. I have seen gourd banjos but never that instrument! I like playing that tune also. I like your pace better than mine...Mine is too fast. I try and remember to post it. I play it on a DDAD fiddle.
Everytime I come to your page there's something impressive awaiting for me! I didn't even know what that was! Dulcimer, huh? Well that thing sounds good right there, once again, great job!
No... but I've been trying to learn the fiddle and this tuning is a little bit like it, but it really is very easy - being diatonic (you can't hit a wrong note). Glad you liked it!
Great work!

Great, really cool and funny sound. It would be a great add to my guitar collection, as well as a banjo. Thanks for shared that one.
