Sunflowers (Original) played on dulcitar

Last Saturday I woke up with the plan to remove frets from my old trash guitar to transform it into a dulcitar, which is a diatonic instrument without halfsteps. I tuned it in D and started to experiment with it, what was a lot of fun.
This little piece "Sunflowers" has its name because of the new decoration of my old guitar. I hope you like it a bit.

I'm speechless!!!!! Das ist sooooo schön!!!!!Kannst du mir eine Anleitung geben für die Dulcitar?

[TanteA]

@Bummelz Dankeschön, lieber Heino. Also ich habe die Bünde entfernt, die nicht zu einer Durtonleiter gehören. Es ist die gleiche Anordnung der Bünde wie bei der Mountian Dulcimer, die du gesehen hast. Ich wollte es einfach mal für die Gitarre ausprobieren. Und spielen lässt sie sich so leicht, weil ich sie auf einen offenen Akkord gestimmt habe. Im letzten Video auf open-G tuning.

This is a gorgeous video, beautiful playing, lovely guitar and a sweet and talented lady in this wonderful mix - it's all the RIGHT ingredients of what it takes to make an OUT OF THIS WORLD, SUPER FANTASTIC and DELICIOUSLY SWEET something to watch. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this Anette and grateful you sent it my way. I love dabbling in the open tunings as well and usually the guitars don't have to be high quality to get a sweet sound like your getting. Made my morning!!! Mark

@doctorcastille Hallo Mike, I tranformed an old trash guitar into that sunflower dulcitar. I made it one free day, and I had only a few hours time for it and so I did not fill the grooves and did not paint the fretboard again. It would look better then I know :-)

Interesting that you picked out my instrumentals only. I always record them with a lot of heart. Thank you very much again.

Very nice greetings from Anette

The frets look like they are still there but I guess that's just the grooves left over? This is a very pretty tune - I like your style.

Mike
