Dulcimers and their sound - makers
General mountain dulcimer or music discussions
Have you ever heard a Probst?
That couldn't have been easy to play--I know I certainly couldn't! I'm particularly partial to Ridin' the Zigzag and Wobble Railroad.
It's both fun and traditional-sounding, and it has a great title!

I daughter's think my dulcimer's sound is reminicent to a harpsicord. Is that good?

I have no recollection of any of this.

Whenever I change strings I save the ball ends. I always find uses for them. Keep some and use them as bushings when using loopend strings... Bob.
One of the biggie competitionsis Winfield, KS.
Get out of Rust Belt, Richard, and come down to the Sunshine State. We'll start that Old Fogies Dulcimer Championship and Grouper Eatin' Competition. Should be real successful, as most of the northeatern US and Canada migrates here between Thanksgiving and Easter. Literally 10% of the population of Canada comes to Florida annually....
