Looking for tabs/books devoted to old style drone & noter playing

Dulcimer Resources:TABS/Books/websites/DVDs

I find that http://barbfeick.com/vaudeville/Tabs/Dulcimer/DAD/ is a good source for the DAD noter/drone style.  Also http://barbfeick.com/vaudeville/Tabs/Dulcimer/DAA/ for DAA.

what was your first song on the dulcimer?

It depends on what you want it for. If you just want it as an antique, leave it as is. If you are into restoring and playing then make it playable.

Playing with a strap

General mountain dulcimer or music discussions

I too had trouble keeping the dulcimer on what little lap I have. I recently installed strap buttons and starting looking around the web for a strap. I couldn't find one that suited me so I bought some latigo lace leather and am in the process of braiding an adjustable strap. When I finish it I will try and post a pic.
