"@olddog75, thank you. Your explanation re: the strings makes sense! My VSL is 26 1/2". Will those gauges in the McSpadden set be OK with the shorter VSL?"

Welcome to FOTMD, Capewavedancer. It's good to have you aboard. I'm also a septuagenarian, but this is my 50th year in the dulcimer community. Let us know if you have any questions as you begin your dulcimer journey. I, too, like The Water is Wide.

So good to have you join CapeWaveDancer. Welcome to Friends of the Mountain Dulcimer. This is a great place to learn all about the mountain dulcimer. There is a lot of expertise and knowledge in the members here and they are always generous to help others on their dulcimer journeys.

Hi Cape wave, 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.
