Love the NA also, Only have three.

I would be willing to guess that that is if not pretty closed to being 5x bigger than a normal normal dulcimer. It is the biggest Dulcimer I know of out there.

Great pic. That thing is big even in a Picture.

One is never enough, Two, no need to re-tune, well what could one more hurt.Then you find one so perfect in every way that you had to have it so number three is added to the family. Then from out of no where there was four.... where did it come from?

then there was eight. It had became like eating peanuts, you could not stop. you rescued them from yard sales junk shops from anywhere you could find them.you where on a mission to save the lost and abused, you would give them a loving home. For there is always room for one more.

you carefully restored them to their former glory bring back their beautiful voice. every so often people would give you one that had been in the attic for years, all covered in dust and string long gong. There always room for one more. You hunted them buy names of builders and by the year they where borne. Each being as prized as the last. There's always room for one more, I can stop at anytime you have been heard to say.

But then one more seem to a pier.

I have 2 playable Dulcimer

1 being built by our own Bobby.

2 native American flutes

3 electric guitars

1 12 string acoustic Alvarez Guitar

2 6 strings acoustic Guitars

1 Shekere

3 jaw harps

2 Mandolins
at lest one harmonica
2 3-string cigar box guitars

1 mountain banjo

Not sure if I have missed anything or not.

John Loved the Video. Now I have that tune stuck in my head. But that's ok I like it.

Two awesome Videos. After hear the flute and the guitar together I know the flute would sound great along side mt 12-string guitar. I need to look into getting some recording stuff so I can record more than one track.

It this your Web page? http://www.peacefulspiritflutes.com/

could you get a video of your wife's group playing some time would love to hear them. When it comes to the flute I think you could call mine meditatively too.

Hi Garland,

I play the NA flute myself. Never had anyone to jam with that had to be awesome. I don't even have a flute circle near me. so it's just me and all my instruments.

inserting.... may give me something to do this winter.

Sweet sounds from that old guitar. I hope my modern guitar sounds that sweet when it get that old.

I remember watching that show as a wee little one. Not sure is I remember seeing the dulcimer. But I am sure I did I had to see and hear one some where that made me want to have one of own.

Thank you very much. I only wish I could of have been as good as you would have done. I always enjoy hearing you play.

Merry Christmas

Not bad at all, Phil. Thanks, and Merry Christmas.

Ron Thank you, I hope you've had a Merry Christmas. I think I have a good Doc he keeps check on me once a month and makes sure I have what I need. But I am just an old Jar headed Marin They never thought us how to give up or go backwards. so I just keep pushing forward. gues in short what I am saying if something don't work for me I find another way to do it.

Here's to 2013 best wish.

Thanks ya'll Hope your all having a Merry Christmas.

I knew there was a link just could not find it, looks like I did the right thing.Thanks Strumelia.

Thank you John Merry Christmas from Indiana

is little drummer boy copyrighted?

was not sure where to post this so here it is. You could call this playing with Arthritis my hands where not working to good. I still hope you can enjoy it. I was not sure if the first song was copyrighted or not so here is the link to youtube.

Thanks Paul for the link. And a big Thank you goes to Gary. I have been looking for something easy for my Grandson to play.

every time I play. I after playing a fewsongs I tend to just noodle around. same thing with my other instrument.

Little of both.

When I played in bands I had everything we played Memorized. Sometimes people would ask for something we didn't know all that well and out would come the sheet music. Now days I don't know if its form a head injury I had a few years ago, all the meds I now have to take or just age catching me to soon in life, I am only in my early 50's. But I seem to have trouble Memorize music. Maybe I just don't play enough. I have to keep the music close.

what a great way to recycle the wood.

Now that is really going out of the way for a costumer. I will have to check them out the next.

I can't say as I have heard of them. So I can't say one way or the other about them. But I have dealt with Folk Craft. with the experiences I have had them I will happy order from the again. The price is about the same plus you would be dealing with the people that built it. and very nice people they are. No I don't work for them but when a company goes out of it way to help me I go out of my way to tell people. any way here is their link if you want to check them out.

Oh this just aint right But then neither am I

ya got me on what they where thinking when they set it up.

Love It.Now I want to learn it.

Like it would sound good on a dulcimer, maybe I had better go look up Reuben's Train and learn that first.

I play arecorder too. well not as much now days. I still get it out from time to time and mess around. May be time to starte to play it again. Oh I also play Native American Flute.

Happy Birthday FOTMD Thank you Lisa For giving us the great place to come and meet,learn, exchange ideals and make Friends.

Hey Dana Check the Credits on that. It should give the name of the song some where in it.

Ya got a deal.

Would love to see them and the one your working on. Glade to have been of some help.

Was suffering around the internet, looking for some information on Mountain Banjos and Dulcimers. when I came across The Museum of Appalachia, then this link of theirs of a lot of old Instruments they have in there collection. it really worth taking the tme to look at. as for me if I can ever get close to Clinton, TN I am stopping in.
