Thanks so much for your kind words, @Fatcat.

@Ferrator, I'm glad you like the tunes here and the dulcimer itself.  With such a beautiful melody and a fine-sounding dulcimer, I aim mainly not to interfere and just showcase the music.  Some tunes don't need any enhancements or variations.

Absolutely beautiful! My wife had a listen and this is now on the "must learn this" list! You have a 'touch' that is something to hope for. VERY nicely played!

And then..., expendable cash to acquire more than a single dulcimer! ~L~

That is one truly magnificent sounding dulcimer. Maybe one day, eh? I have my dulcimer and a kantele being made playable again. Then to get good enough to record something...

Then..., and then, and THEN... I sure am glad I found FOTMD!

Thanks, @Steven-Berger.  This tune is pretty enough the main trick in playing it is to stay out of the way and not try to do too much.

Beautifully played on a beautiful sounding instrument!

Thanks for listening, @Marg.

very nice, thanks for sharing

Thanks, @Bob. I appreciate your taking the time to listen and comment.

So lovely! Thanks Dusty

Thanks for listening, @Brian-G.  Both of these melodies are so pretty it's hard to mess 'em up.

Very nice Dusty. Beautiful tunes and great playing.  Thanks for sharing!

@Ariane, thank you so much for such kind words.

"Watching the Wheat" sounds so beautifully melancholic - and the second tune is as wonderful! Your playing touches the soul

Thanks for listening, @Terry-Wilson. I'm working on another slow welsh air now that I'll hopefully post pretty soon as well.

Dusty, absolutely beautiful.  As we get older, as least for me, things to be beautifully slowing down.  Your song rings true.

Thanks, @Elvensong. I used to be kind of afraid to play super slow since every mistake is magnified.  But these tunes just call for a soft, patient approach.

You have a wonderful touch, Dusty. It's nice to hear the quiet side of the dulcimer

Thanks for listening, @Sam.  The tuning I used is the same as DAd with all the strings tuned down a half note. For soft fingerpicking I like the extra give in the strings.  Conversely, when I flatpick, I like really tight strings and sometimes tune to D# or E.

And thanks for such a nice comment, @Irene.  I hope the rest of your day is filled with more music.

I listened and looked this early morning.   WONDERFUL WAY to start the day.  Thank you for all you teach and now play here.   just LOVELY.  today I string up a new dulcimer for a friend that's buying it.  The "nickel and dime" testing will be on my menu today.   aloha, irene

Beautifully played Dusty. I've never tried that tuning, sure works for you!
