Reasons NOT To Get a Chromatic
Instruments- discuss specific features, luthiers, instrument problems & questions
I am looking to purchase a new dulcimer and am considering getting a chromatic. It seems the benefits of being able to play any note within the dulcimer's range is a big plus, but I am looking for reasons why I would not want to get a chromatic. Can anyone provide some insight here?
For instance, does having a chromatic make it more difficult to play classic dulcimer songs, is it generally more confusing, etc...?
Convince me why getting a chromatic is not the way to go, and why a diatonic is better.
Thanks!
