These photos are of me and my dulcimers (and a cat or two : ) I perform with them, I play them for fun, and I write my own music with them. Dulcimers are a part of my life and my family!
That's a very pretty langspil. I look forward to hearing you play it. I recently translated Stig Wallin's 1952 book, Die Schwedishe Hummel, published. by the Nordic Museum in Stockholm. It touches on the langspil as a relative of the hummel. If you are interested in reading it PM me and I will send you a link to download a pdf. It is large file so I can't can't email it or post it here.

It is brand new and made by Robert Worth. It's made with cherry and purpleheart woods, has a diatonic fretboard (as you can see) and is tuned DAD.
I've bowed a little bit over the years, but this langspil is inspiring me to master bowing! I also tap the strings, strum, and fingerpick. I'm thrilled to have it and am having a blast with it!

Thank you, Ken!

Thank you! I have a short video of me playing samples on it. I will post it : )
That is so terrific in every way! I hope you can post a little vid soon ...nothing too fancy, just to show us some fun things on it.
