Are you all still loving your NH dulcimers? Do you have any suggestions/reviews as I seriously consider to order a baritone? Or… does anyone have one for sale? Must have a pickup. It would be wonderful if I don’t have to wait 12 weeks for a new one so thought I’d check around first! Happy strummin’ from me here in beautiful northern Vermont… 😊
Does anyone have experience or knowledge about this subject? I have a 2004 Folkcraft baritone and also a 1993 standard Folkcraft - both for which I am considering to have built-in pick ups installed. Thoughts? Or perhaps someone can recommend a good “stick on” option...but I have never found a good one in all these years!
Hello from northern VT! Even though I really am not much of a traveler at all, I am considering a road (or air) trip to the Smokey Mountains - there, I have said it and maybe that will help me to follow through with it. Any suggestions or advice from anyone out there in MD land?
Thanks to all for your valuable input......I ended up purchasing a Sweet Woods possum board and am happy with it - however, I don't use it as much as I thought I would and I'm not really sure why!
Thank you Pete........ I love it! Now I just have to figure out which of Rob's 3 tabs is the one that is the same as yours.
Thanks so much, Rob! Now we just have to figure out which version is the one being requested by the "admirer" of our group.
Thanks to all of you for your help. Marc Mathieu had crossed my mind but I don't know how to contact him. I see a lot of references to him on-line and, of course, u-tubes..........but I don't think he has a website.
Hi folks, this tune was written as a theme song for Crocket's Victory Garden
and our northern VT dulcimer group has been asked more than once if we can play
it. However, we cannot locate tab.......can anyone help us?
Thanks in advance!
Does anyone have experience using either one of these? Picture attached. Made by Dave Lynch @ Sweet Woods.
Susie, how comfortable is this type of possum board? Does it sit nicely on one's lap? And, do you notice quite a difference in volume? Thanks!
Yes, I have already contacted Folkcraft and "no dice". Thanks for sharing Peter's method but I think that would be too heavy on my legs. I'm hoping for something quite lightweight and in the hourglass shape (like the one belonging to the woman that I mentioned initially). Thanks again............
2 weeks ago at the "August Dulcimer Daze" in Dover, VT, I briefly met a woman who had a McSpadden Dulcimer and a beautiful possum board (separate/detached) that had an evergreen scene etched or painted on it. She let me try it with my Folkcraft and it fit perfectly! However, she couldn't remember where she had purchased it..........she said that she was going to try to find out before the festival ended but I never saw her again. :( She told me that when she purchased the possum board she had a choice of several scenes. Does this ring a bell with anyone? I'm not so much interested in the decoration but would like to find a possum board that fits my original made-in-CT Folkcraft dulcimers - one is regular and one is baritone. I don't have the time or know-how to make my own. Picture perfect weather here today in the Northeast Kingdom of VT - now away from the computer and out to the deck to play some music! Thanks to anyone who can help with my search.
Thanks for letting me know. I guess I'll just work on it myself and see if I can make improvements.
Does anyone have a particularly nice arrangement for this beloved and seemingly timeless waltz? I have a simple version, but know that it could sound much, much better. Thanks!
Has anyone ever discovered a music holder that slips under the MD and is held in that way? I would love to be able to have this quick option when I need to use tab........rather than always having a regular music stand in front of me even when I don't need tab. Can anyone else relate to this? Perhaps someone has discovered a creative DIY option? Thanks in advance for any input on this subject - and greetings from frigid VT!!
