Tunings you like to use on your dulcimer
General mountain dulcimer or music discussions
Most bagpipes and bombards (from Brittany, in France) are in B flat so when it comes to celtic music, a tuning I like to use on my dulcimer is Bb(low)-Bb(high x3). It really sounds like a bagpipe, I find the tone more interesting than C-C-cc (but maybe it is because my melody strings are too thin, they are 0.010). Otherwise, I prefer myxolidian tunings DAdd or CGcc
