You might consider joining the Florida Sunshine Dulcimer Group here and posting your question there.  The groups sometimes go dormant for a spell, but often it just takes one new person to drum up some activity and get things humming (or droning) again.



Thanks for the lead!  I've joined and will give it a try!

I'm a full time resident.  Will amend distance to include more people; thanks for the feedback.

Are you a snowbird?  Or permanent resident? 

I'm in Fort Myers, but I don't play with that evening group.  
IIRC, the group that used to be in Englewood was a "snowbird" group like many others down here, which disbanded each spring when they went back north.  There are a couple players I know of in Venice, and I've heard of a couple in the Rotunda.  but with a 15 mile and daylight limitations you'll be lucky to find 1 or 2 players, I think.

I am looking for dulcimer players who live within 30 miles of Englewood, Fl., or those who are willing to travel to Englewood.  who would like to get a group together to play.  I am open to any day, and prefer to play during the daytime. There used to be a dulcimer group in Port Charlotte, Fl. which is just 15 miles from me. Unfortunately, the art center where they met closed.  I have access to a space that we can play in.  I know there is a group in Ft. Myers, but that's over an hour away and meets at night.  Thanks!
