When I click on a thread title, it shows the newest posts first, even if it's the first time I've visited the thread. This means I have to go to other pages just to see the first post. I've never seen a forum do this before. How do I change this?
Both do not have a zero fret. The nut looks correct. The action passes the nickel and dime tests. I am fretting in the correct locations.
The sound occurs as I am lifting my finger off the string. It's as if the vibration against the fret causes the noise as pressure on the string lessens.
Both of my dulcimers do this. For example, let's say I'm fretting the melody strings at #7. When I lift my finger to move to the next note, I hear a sound that I can only describe as a whine. It's not very noticeable on faster songs, but it ruins a song like Silent Night.
I'm what you'd call an advanced beginner. I can play a number of tunes, can fret with multiple fingers, etc. I don't know if it's something I'm doing wrong, or if there's something wrong with both dulcimers, or if it's normal. Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks.
