I am using a goose quill from which I have stripped the vanes.

Hi again Kimberly, i can play a little, like composing in my head moved by the spirit

if you like, There is a sea of words waiting to be put to the dulcimers sound, wonderful instrument that talks back to you, it begins to breathe as soon as ones hand starts to glide across the strings. Keep playing you are good to my ear, Russ.
