  • Hey Stephen! I saw you preform with the Brevard Symphony. And you have inspired me to learn how to play the Mountain Dulcimer! Thank you :)

  • @milnoid Thank you so much for your kind reply and great advices! :) Merry Christmas to you! :) Regards from Norway

  • @mariannethor Stephen is playing a McSpadden Schnaufer model. Expensive, but MCSpad makes standard models that are very ncie too. Virtually any AMERICAN builder will provide you decent instrument. AVOID factory-made imports (like the Applecreek), which have little authenticity and which will not hold their value. Also check out the discussion forum at everythingdulcimer(dot)com.

  • Hey Stephen if you see this, my name is Anthony Hughes, my Grandparents are Phil and Wanda Hughes. They try to make every festival near Indiana as possible. I just wanted to say that i love your playing, and even though i have the same dulcimer, it just doesn't sing like that! haha. But! I love your playing!

  • 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!! :))

  • This is beautiful!! I am getting a mtn. dulcimer for Christmas and I cannot wait to add it to my growing collection of instruments. :-)

  • hi i love your playing! fantastic! i'm in Australia.. i'm teaching myself to play dulcimer. mine sounds loud like yours. even better when i sit it on a wooden table to play, it resonates with the wood. what Tuning do you have on yr dulcimer? that's the hard part for me.. i just can't quite work out my tunings... i had it, then one day someone changed it now i can't figure out what tuning will give me the most 'options' for playing songs... seems like there's notes missing at the moment! cheers

  • I love this version!

  • Very very good!

  • Wow! What a beautiful technique you've worked out. Thank you.
