I am excitedly awaiting my first dulcimer to be delivered. You have inspired me to learn to play this instrument.

Thank you sooooo much.

You are delightful. My husband bought me a lovely lap dulcimer a few years back and watching your youtube videos has inspired me to learn how to play it. THANK YOU!

Thank you for posting these great lessons. I am just a novice with this instrument and although I am completely unfamiliar with it - I play old woodwinds - I do like it really a lot. Your videos are a great tutorial and help a lot. Thanks!!!!!
