David Beede - a few tunes on a new walnut/spruce mountain dulcimer

Walnut back and sides, sitka spruce top, ebony and mahogany finger board, gold tuners and strap pins.
Playing Southwind, Never Weatherbeaten Sail and Si Behg Si Mohr... so the tunes are a little rough... perfection is the enemy of the barely good enough..;-).... I think that's what Voltaire said?

Hey David. That's a great dulcimer and excellent playing! I sent you a vid of me playing a different arrangement of Never Weather Beaten Sail that you might find interesting.

@dulcibard

Very nicely played... I like your more delicate and stately version of the tune. Thanks for the link. Keep up the good work!

What is your tuning for the second tune?

[djbeede]

Hey Pickin... The second tune "Never Weatherbeaten Sail" is also in DAd tuning, however it is played in G and the B part goes to Em. I've always loved both the tune and the name....

It's on it's way to the new owner now... but it is sometimes a lesson in letting go... eh? Hope to connect soonish.
