I am a professor of early Chinese history with a love of the Ozarks and classical music (I was raised learning classical piano) who found his way to the mountain dulcimer at the recommendation of his wife, after considering a number of other stringed instruments. I very much enjoy the plaintive sound of the dulcimer and am hoping to learn and create complex arrangements of classical music, Elizabethan music, and old country hymns.

Thank y'all for the very friendly welcome! Garret
Hi Garret, and welcome to the wonderful world of the Friends of the Mountain Dulcimer. It's a good place to come, spend some time, learn about the dulcimer, and to meet some good people.

Hey Garret, welcome aboard. Glad ya found us.
Welcome, Garret, to this little corner of dulcimer heaven. I'm an expatriate Okie from Sequoyah County and play 4 independent strings most of the time. I too play stuff that's not usually considered dulcimer tunes. Maybe we can get together next time I go west. Hope you enjoy it here.
