Dulcimer or Guitar?

General mountain dulcimer or music discussions

I mostly play old time music....couple of Irish tunes played w/old time beat....few classical tunes. Even tho I play the OT tunes I can't limit myself to 1 playing style. I love to play the noter drone way...& have been stuck on it for a year or so....but to me not all the tunes I wanna play sound good thataway.....how ya gonna play Staten Island Hornpipe n/d for instance....& not all the tunes I wanna play fit in a diatonic fret configuration.I like to flatpick fiddle tunes...pretty much note for note....& also like to play fiddle tunes...& other melodies....in a melody approxamation/chordal style.I am tickled when I get a melody in mind & it fits into a way I play the dulcimer. And even tho I take about 3 approaches to playing some tunes just don't fit for me on the dulcimer. I don't play slow tunes very well...or waltzes.I could learn some new techniques but am not motivated at this time.The diversity of the dulcimer is a wonderful thing & I enjoy listening to others play in so many different ways.
