Strumelia; sadly had I been there your poor husband would have had to share all of his treats.  

I have four Backyard Instruments. Three chromatic DAd tuned; one with regular strings; the other with nylon strings.  The third chromatic is tuned DAAA.The fourth is tuned DAd with 1.5: 6.5: 8.5 and 13.5 frets.  My favorite of these is whichever one is in my lap.

 I also have a Folkcraft chromatic cardboard dulcimer my son built for me.

 I have heard of cardboard Backyard Instruments lasting 30 years.

I don’t know of the availability of plans.

Specifically when I play my dulcimers tuned DAAA:  I will gather a bit of drool in the right side of my mouth.

It’s the only time it happens.

Is there a doctor in the house?

I’ve spent several years trying to get the nerve to ask this.

 Thank you,

Don

Tonight salmon and wild rice.  Tomorrow::  CHILI!

I'm making an attempt to organize my practice.  Primarily playing chords; is there a warm up to get you started?

GOT IT!  Is there a guideline to moving from string to string?

Does anyone else hear a tune in their head and have to pick it out on the melody and middle string?
