I can think of a reason...

Seeing the intro of the video and all that stringed instruments you are used to play the bass string with the thumb rather than using a finger.

An argument against a reverse string set-up is the flexibility of the thumb when playing chord/melody: fingers hold the chord where the tumb can slide underneath the hand. I can't imagine the ring finger nor the pinky doing this Tongue.gif

Hi Karel,

I like this very much!

First of all there is a discussion going on about cheap dulcimers and what is cheap. The instrument you play is surely not the most expensive one and it is now proven those can sound beautiful, special when using a 'clip on' mic. Smile.gif

I notice you stringed the instrument reversed, in dbgD (in common notation). What is the bennifit or reason? Is it because of the tunig in an open G chord?

I am aware the instrument is that reasonable priced one can buy several of them to keep those tuned in their own tunings. Grin.gif

You made my sunday!
