Tricked-out Music Stands

General mountain dulcimer or music discussions

I use an IPAD for my music so I have a stand made for it. 

Any one ever use this on their dulcimer to adhere an external pick up?

Hi. I use the command strips to put pick holders on my Dulcimers. I did not want to mar the finish. So far I have had great luck with them.

Let's talk about "Floating Bridges"

Instruments- discuss specific features, luthiers, instrument problems & questions

I knew when I purchased my Modern Mountain dulcimer that it had a floating bridge. Did not bother me until it got bumped and skewed. Then I went into panic mode. However, I discovered that it was not really a big deal. I had marked where it needed to go and although I was very tempted to have it glued down, my good friend Paul Sykes, who also leads the dulcimer group I play with, encouraged me not to because having it float made for a dulcimer with more tuning options. Now I never even think about the bridge.
