I should point out that I do not play for long periods of time and I never leave the non-slip pads with the dulcimer when storing. I must say though that I like the idea of Kristi's chamois. Sounds good to me and will certainly give that one a try.

I use two pieces of the non-slip material used under rugs, etc one on each knee. Doug Curran, who as a lot of you will know is a long-time MDulcimer player and luthier, suggested this to me. I don't use a strap at all but this material (I use a light colour) stops the slide. I haven't noticed any adverse effect on the surface. I hope this is useful.
