Thanks, Paul. We don't call her "Bubbles" for nothing!

Thanks so much, 10ashus. My daughter is far more interested in soccer and the piano than she is in singing with me these days. But if I can get her to do another duet I'll definitely post it here.

Thanks, Robin. It's a lot of fun making music with Bubbles (that's her chosen internet name for the moment).

John, I would be reluctant to attribute too much of a dulcimer's sound to any one variable like shape or wood type. I'm sure a McSpadden teardrop sounds much closer to the McSpadden hourglass than it does to this teardrop. Among other things, David does not appear to use any heavy finishes on the wood, so it is possible that enables the wood to vibrate more, creating greater volume. Just a theory. But the dulcimer does have a nice punch to it, like an old Gibson mandolin.

Yes Dusty> My student teardrop sounds really great too. In my last message I meant to say all my other dulcimers are " hourglass " models, so this is my first teardrop and I think it sounds stronger and fuller with that shaped sound box.

All the best for now.Silly John Fan T.

Hey Silly John Fan T. Nice to hear from you here. Yes, it's amazing how nice this student model sounds. I think it is definitely the best dulcimer value out there. It also makes me wonder about David Lynch's performance model.

Hello Dusty Turtle. You may remember I commented on your playing on youtube a month or more ago by the name of sillyfan. I was delighted to find you are a member here. Having all teardrop solid wood dulcimers, I wanted to know what the David Lynch laminated student teardrop dulcimer sounded like, so hearing yours on youtube convinced me. I've just received the same dulcimer with 1 1/2 & 8 1/2 frets added as is yours from David Lynch and it sounds and plays as good as all my solid ones; three McSpadden, one Folkcraft and one Ron Gibson. So thanks for convincing me with you great video. John T (sillyfan)

Thanks, Macy.

My daughter plays the piano. A couple of years ago I bought her an octave dulcimer (an Eedy Beede with dolphin soundholes) and she can play a couple of tunes on it. But the truth is she rarely plays it, much preferring the piano.
