How Many
General mountain dulcimer or music discussions
2 McSpaddens: Walnut/spruce hourglass (my first); Cherry Ginger (really nice in G)
3 Warren May: Walnut hourglass w/ wooden pegs, no 6+; Walnut hourdrop w/ 6+ added by Warren; Mixed wood hourglass w/ 6+ (Spalted maple top and peghead, cherry sides, walnut bottom, sycamore fretboard, poplar tail. Warren made it from pieces he had....i love it!!!!!)
Add to that the ones my husband has:
1 Sweetwoods (Harpmaker) student
1 Warren May Walnut hourdrop
:)
The first song that popped into my head was Mary Had a Baby (of course, it is more a Christmas song). http://www.hymnsandcarolsofchristmas.com/Hymns_and_Carols/mary_had_a_baby.htm It has the response of "aye, Lord" or "yes, Lord" that is easy to learn and remember.I'm looking forward to other responses!

Mine was made in 2004. Heart soundholes.The walnut hourdrop has the vine soundholes and mechanical tuners. It has a lovely sound, and it is great for changing to other tunings, but the other is definitely my favorite. Ashley said:
Another Warren May fan! I have one just like that: walnut hourglass with wooden pegs (built in '87). Mine has heart soundholes -- yours? And of COURSE it's a "she." I mean, just look and listen to her! Mine sings best in DAA, too.
My other dulcimer is a Tom Yocky. Curly maple with a western red cedar top (love the cedar scent that wafts up as I play!). Moon and stars soundholes. That one's definitely a "he."
(Their names are Markta and Glen. Sometimes I just call them Beauty and The Beast.)
Linda Fillers said:My list isn't nearly as long. In order of purchase:
1. McSpadden - walnut/spruce hourglass
2. McSpadden Ginger - cherry (great for traveling)
3. Warren May - walnut hourglass with NO 6+ & wooden pegs (probably my favorite to play. I keep her in DAA...the only one I keep out on a stand for easy access!)
4. Warren May - walnut Hourdrop w/ vine sound holes. I asked Warren to add a 6+....There are those times in hymns when I need that accidental and I don't "bend" very well.
also in the house is:
5. Harpmaker - student model that I bought for my husband.

Well, I guess I said "her" the way you might say "her"about a car or boat, basically I refer to that one as "Warren"....which wouldn't be "her" at all. You got me there. I call the hourdrop "the hourdrop", and Ginger "Ginger". I know. Very original.My cats, on the other hand, have GOOD names....AJ, Dusty, and Howie. LOL!!! Bob Lewis said:
