Playing dulcimers with different VSL
General mountain dulcimer or music discussions
Does playing different VSL impede the learning for a beginner?

Thank you. I’m very fond of my backpacker dulcimers by Cedar Creek Dulcimers. They are tuned. GDg and GDDd.
I guess I won’t take them to the club meeting.
How do you Practice?

Yes! I was able to open your video. Thank you.

Thank you!
I printed your tab scales and ordered Mike Casey’s book.
I can’t open your video. I’m subscribed to your YouTube videos.
I’ll keep moving along trying to get better.
Thanks for the help!

dusty, I don’t read music and can only play with tabs.
Can you give me examples of the scales and arpeggios you play?
Thanks.

My 40 year old box of harmonicas
Adventures with 'other' instruments...
My chromatics are all key of C. My tenor Hohner CX-12s are my favorite.
I agree about Hohner. I think Suzuki is the most innovative of the big three manufacturers.
I have never had any luck with Seydel chromatics.
I have two 16 hole chromatics. My favorite is the Hohner Super 64X. A piano has 88 keys and you have 64 notes in your hand. Amazing!
I also have a Swan 16 hole chromatic which is fine and only costs about $100.
Grab any instrument. Harmonica or dulcimer: make music and have fun.

John Keane glad you’re maintaining a relationship with Cedarcreekdulcimers. They are very nice people.

I play a half dozen songs from my beginner DAd book. And then just roam the fretboard.
In the evening, relaxing I play my dulcimer tuned DAAA playing hymns and music in my head. It’s truly my Zen time.
I enjoy both.

I have a number of harmonicas. Learning to play the diatonic well is difficult. Google Buddy Greene at Carnegie Hall.
I have primarily play my chromatics. When I need the sharp or flat I push a button. And I like to play Broadway music as well as folk music and jazz.
Jam chord progressions
Playing and jamming difficulties...HELP ME!
Thank you! I have lots to learn. That’s healthy for an old guy. Candidly, in the evening I love relaxing and playing my first dulcimer. It’s tuned DAAA and is a joy to play.

John Keene, I am definitely the general public. And yes they have been most helpful and kind.
Do you still have your Cedar Creek Dulcimer?

Thank you, Greg. I will watch prices.....although I could endanger 49+ years of marriage with another dulcimer.
Luthiers - Cedar Creek?
Instruments- discuss specific features, luthiers, instrument problems & questions
I hear many names of dulcimer builders. I have three dulcimers; all from Cedar Creek Dulcimers. Two are backpackers and the other their answer to McSpadden's Ginger.
I never hear any comments on Cedar Creek. As a beginner and certainly not a trained musician I may be a poor one to judge but I really like all three.
Just wondering.

Notebooks? IPad? Help! I have a DAAA notebook; a club Notebook in DAD. A beginning book with paper clips and extra tunes I’m learning. Then there is my addiction to books with lessons and others with tunes. Argh!

Thank you, Dusty and all of our dulcimer family. My dulcimer is my refuge and happy place.
Waiter’s tray stand

I would like to stand up more. I’m not an exercise buff.
When you use a stand, how do you secure your dulcimer?
Is a waiters stand best?
Thank you.

I am an incompetent diatonic Harmonica player. And a mediocre chromatic harmonica player. Neither offer the soft music of my dulcimers.
