THANK YOU! The album is on ITUNES and I downloaded it and created a special “Dulcimer Relaxer” playlist.

Relaxing playlist on ITUNES


General mountain dulcimer or music discussions


First thing in the morning I put on a hymn or relaxing piano playlist on my IPhone.

Do you know of a relaxing CD or playlist on ITunes or Spotify that is strictly the mountain dulcimer?

What’s your favourite playing style and why?


General mountain dulcimer or music discussions

I prefer using my fingers for strumming and picking but I don’t get as precise a sound without a pick.

General mountain dulcimer or music discussions

Call me blissfully confused. I find my DAA tuned dulcimers to be zen like and totally relaxing. I enjoy the chords and fingerpicking on my DAD dulcimers. All of those dulcimers have 4 extra frets and I have two cardboard chromatic dulcimers. My favorite dulcimer is the one in my lap.
