Worth the wait Oliver. I too have a banjammer, full size Clemmer dulcimer and a green poplar Cuzn Clem.
Oh Phil my heart breaks for you. I pray for a good outcome and saved instruments
thanks guys,I do believe Ken hit on the the head, I do wipe down the dulcimer,....I am scraping it with my pick.... Mike Clemmer has delicate etched fret markers and I keep scraping it. I don't know how to strum differently. My club plays so fast, I believe it comes from trying to keep up. But I guess I need to really work on this.
When I die no one will ever be able to sell my dulcimer on Ebay with the description of looks brand new, little or no wear. I am as they say an agressive player! In fact my dulcimer I use most is just 6 months old, but the fret board looks pretty worn in the 6- 10 frets. But to be fair I play a LOT...say at least an hour a day. In fact I was off work for a month and played 2 plus hours a day...so do I need to be concerned or do anything about this?
thank you. I learned the hard way on lowering action. My first dulcimer was intended to be played with a noter. everyone kept telling me to have the action lowered. so, I sent it to the luthier and he lowered the action and replaced the nut....now its just a beautiful decoration. I do love my Clemmer though.
