Your videos are great! Very informative and you have a great gift for teaching. Thank you so much. I have had my dulcimer for about a year but have not played a bunch. Just learning and your videos have me excited to play.  Thank You!

I really wanted to thank you for posting these videos. I am 32 years old and have always wanted to learn to play the mountain dulcimer. I am going through chemo right now, and can't leave the house very much because of a weakened immune system. A family member made me a dulcimer, and learning to play is helping to keep me occupied. No one I know personally knows how to play, and I'm not able to take lessons, so these videos have helped alot!! Thank you so much!
