Incredible!! I wonder if you could help me. I want to buy a mountain dulcimer, but I really have no clue what kind I should get. I really like the sound of your dulcimer though. Does the pattern of the holes matter to the sound? Some have hearts and others have more traditional patterns. Or is it the way you tune it that makes the difference? I really am clueless :p I've been looking for one on ebay, but they all have different name. Appalachian, jumbo cherry, applecreek acd 200k?? Help!!:))
I'm new to dulcimers but am hoping to get a chromatic. However, I've never seen a book on chr dulcimers. Could you suggest one for a beginner? Any other advice? Thanks. (I play flute and some other noted (not chord) instruments.)
@rbentrdr Thanks for watching. I don't know of any books for chromatic dulcimer, but if you already understand a little bit about music, you can use books for diatonic dulcimers. My favorite dulcimer books is "Hands-On Dulcimer" by Mike Casey.
Oh, and what's best for a beginner? A chromatic or a diatonic? Thank you, and thank you again for this wonderful music! :) Best regards from Norway

Hold on, I thought dulcimers have the frets pulled out so it is just a diatonic scale? Yours appears to have all the frets.

@PresidentFish1 Thanks for watching. Yes, this is a chromatic dulcimer. All the dulcimer builders that I know make chromatic dulcimers on request.
