is the dulcimer in the video hooked up to a amp or is that just the way a mcspadden sounds

Magic

There is no amp in this video. The recording was made playing the Mcspadden dulcimer in the video with a dynamic mic on one track, then an additional track was recorded while I was listening/playing along to the first track. There are two dulcimers playing the same song. You can set your balance to just one speaker and hear what just one track (dulcimer) sounds like. Two of them together sounds a little different than just one.

Thanks

@thoeckel

Thanks Trish

One of my goals everyday is to inspire somebody in some way, so if this video provided any inspiration for you I'm grateful that I accomplished something for somebody (you!). I hope you continue with your DULCIMER!!

Take Care

thanks for the reply can you help me again lookin' at a lot of mcspaddens they all sound different the question is what does the letters after the number stand for the number of strings. i like a 4FHCR,4FHWR AND 6FHWRB

@magic7475

Magic

The model numbers are arranged so the first character is the number of strings, the second is the type of head for the tuners, the third is the shape, and the additional characters are the types of woods. 4FHCR is a 4-string, flat peg-head, hourglass shaped dulcimer made with cherry and rosewood. Be sure to visit the McSpadden site (at mcspaddendulcimers) as some of the resellers might not provide detailed information on the meaning of the model numbers.

Good Luck

Magic It's a McSpadden dulcimer. The top is solid spruce, the fingerboard is walnut along with the tailblock and scroll. I think the sides and back are made with a composite with walnut veneer.
