fingerstyle playing on a budget
Instruments- discuss specific features, luthiers, instrument problems & questions
It seems a number of people have purchased dulcimers as an impulse buy, take them home with the intent of learning to play, never get around to it, and store the dulcimer away.
I have purchased no less than 6 second hand dulcimers which appeared to have been played little if at all. One had the pick and noter sealed in a little envelope which had never been opened and the string sale tag still tied to the instrument.
So it is possible to get a "used" dulcimer which has not been used much at all.
