Robert: Wow, that's a lot of questions all at once.Grin.gif So, in reverse order,

  • I built the dulcimer
  • I probably spent a couple of hours learning Shenandoah over a few weeks. I really wanted to get it posted for the February Call the Tune Challenge by James. The arrangement is my own.
  • And I've been playing dulcimer for a little over a year. Lots of other music experience before that.

Thank-you for your kind comments. Good luck on your dulcimer journey!

Nice job...liked the simple melody line before adding chords etc and changing it up...and how nice of Chase to vocalize a little before entering the scene.

Gordon and John, thanks for the kind words. I might have done another take for this, but I was in a bit of a hurry to get it posted.

Gordon, I did built this instrument. It is all walnut. The sound hole design was copied from a 1930s Gibson guitar. It is strung lightly at the moment with 10s on the melody and middle drone strings and 18 on the bass. I'd like to get a little more richness out of it so I may go to heavier gauges the next time I restring it. For this video it was tuned DAdd but it also sounds nice tuned a step lower at CGcc.

Hey Bob, I like your finger picking style and your instrument, is it one that you built? Thanks for your sweet rendition.
