Thank You Cynthia,

I am looking forward to learning from and receiving great advice from the members of this forum. Thank you for your encouragement.

Hello, Cynthia,

Betty and I recently traveled through southern Vermont on our way to Camp Calumet in New Hampshire. We spent a week camping with family there.

Best wishes,

Ken

Hi Cynthia!

Thanks for your offer about sending some Peg Drops Cynthia.  If no one in the UK can point me towards a supplier I'll send you a PM with my address and we can sort out payment via PayPal.

Awesome how are you doing these days I left comments on your videos

I can't it says it's pendingthat means I have to wait for your approval honey

Thanks for the advise Cynthia, yes I do love hymns, very anxious to receive my dulcimer, not due until the end of January, not even made yet

Oh bless you!    This will be so peaceful...

Cynthia, I thinik this article will interest you and your friend.

Thanks so much, Cynthia.  Some day I hope to be able to play that mash up (and find the tabs for it!).  I have relatives in your area - maybe we will strum together some day!

Hi Cynthia, just followed you, perhaps you could do the same so we can talk about Uke and MD.

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Cynthia!  So you lived in France???  How long did you live there?  Just wondering

Have you been playing?  I hope so!

Se vuoi podere communicare con altri qui, devi accetare "follow Cinzia". Come questo possiamo communicare privatamente senza annoiare tutti bli altri lol. Non credo che viaggero piu fuoiri degli Stati, ma qui sa, non? Mi faceva molto piacere di conoscerla anche a me - di dove sei in Italia?

You know, I was wondering if that was the case! Thanks so much for confirming!! I have joined that group, too, thanks. :)

... and thanks for the tip about Backyard Music! Awesome option!

Thank you kindly, Cynthia! I am so tickled to find a place where beginners are welcome! I see that you are interested in Sacred Harp -- I am interested in that, too.

My antique shop find came with a 2-year-old receipt for recut nut and saddle grooves, a new screw for a string hold, and restringing -- from a local violin shop!

Whether because the previous owner was left handed or because the violin shop didn't know any better, it appears to be strung upside down. The wooden peg for the base string looks like it might have a tendency to slip a tiny bit if I'm not careful to seat it well, and I also suspect that the dulcimer's action may be considered high (I am clueless, but did the nickel/dime test).

Since I don't really know how to tune it yet, I can't tell anything about its intonation ... and in comparing its fretboard to contemporary ones, I don't think it has the 6+, etc. frets. But perhaps someone can tell me from the attached photo? :)
