All the 'Happy First'

Enjoy you sweet beginnings, I am and I think your dulcimer sounds very nice and you did wonderfully for a first day playing. I wish you many more to come.

Yes, I did enjoy it. I hope to see more from you soon. That is a nice dulcimer

This is so nice, Bryant! A great video to record your very first day playing the dulcimer! I was impressed with the steadiness of your playing. As long of you love it, you will makes heaps of progress. Keep asking questions and we'll do all we can to help you on this journey.

Thank you all for your comments!!!

You're off to a great start, Bryant. I have one of David Lynch's student model dulcimers, too. The only thing "student" about it is the affordable price. But it's a great instrument that plays as well as instruments three times the price.

There ya go, Bryant. Out of the gate and with your first of many videos. Sounds good.

Looks like you're off and running, Bryant. Great start

Sounds like a great start to me! Please don't feel that you "have" to strum in the strum hollow area all of the time. If you strum between the two larger sound holes, you will discover a totally different sound. I wish that someone would have told me that on my first day. Best of luck on your new dulcimer journey!
