Thank you, Folks for all your warm welcomes!
I don't know anyone locally (Grafton NSW Australia), who plays. so I'm going a bit by braille! If there's anyone you know who plays and is closer to home, I'd love to know how to contact them, or please put them in contact with me.
I guess my first challenge is knowing what chords to start memorizing. Ultimately I want to play chord/melody style, but I guess simple backing chords might be a logical first step. I'm starting with DAdd tuning, but again want to experiment with tunings as I progress. I have access to 3 dulcimers, 1 small homemade one which has a traditional fretboard (no 6.5 fret), 1 larger professionally made one with a 6.5 fret, and a middle sized custom-made one with both a 1.5 and a 6.5 fret, so I've plenty to explore.
Musically I'm drawn to traditional Celtic music.
Thanks again for making me feel welcome,
Mazza

Thanks for the welcome. Looking forward to learning more about the mountain dulcimers. It soothes my soul.

Thank you, Ben.
Glad I found this site again.
You are part of a great bunch.

Hi Ben, Thank you for the warm welcome! I do enjoy playing folk music and dulcimer is a bit more low-key than fiddle! Cheers! --dulcididdle

Hi Ben
Thanks for those welcoming words in the mountain dulcimer world. I see we are both fond of Scarborough Fair. I can only manage to play the tune on the melody as I'm new to dulcimer playing and only basic with music in general. I wish I could add chords to the tune to make it sound better.

Thank you! I am already learning a lot reading in the different forums!
