I find that if I strum over the fretboard my plectrum hits the fret board not making for a very nice sound - and as my strumming tens to wander towards the fretboard this can be a problem.

I was just given a beautiful dulcimer and had no idea what to do with it--there are no teachers in my area and precious few books on the subject--so your videos are just what I needed! Thanks for being such a great teacher!
