Bet that's a bitch to re-string..

[Ptarmi]

@rokchick01 I tried to restring one once ... it took me nearly 12 hours! :-( .... never again!

[eti47]

this shit is sick i love it

[katekakes]

omg i love this thank you i love the sound

[mrrmusician22]

@rogerjowett its not that so much as the time it takes to do it... like tuning my guitar is easy because i tune using harmonics so it takes less than 20 seconds. but to tune these takes a very very long time and it causes delays in our sound checking time and tuning isnt nearly as easy as turning the key on the guitar

[rogerjowett]

@mrrmusician22 Well, you have to tuner any stringed instrument after travel, so as a string player you get used to that.

[mrrmusician22]

@Ptarmi they are alot like pianos in the fact that untill they dont stay tuned for a certain amount of time they dont need to be restrung... but i suggest never use this in any concert setting bands you might have... we used it for a few of our songs and its gorgeous but every place we stop on the tour we have to retune it from the travel :/

Hi. Lovely music, nice dulcimer. Have you put some leather behind the strings to mellow the sound a little?

[goobergallery]

I love the dulcimer because even if you hit the wrong string it still sounds gorgeous.
