Thank you, @ jennifer-wren !  I hope if you and others have some recording or reporting of how the '26 edition of PMOTPD unfolded it'll get posted here.

That's really lovely!

Welcome to mountain dulcimer play, @kittiwake1!  It's neat you're coming up with your own tunes.   

I enjoy making up the tunes my husband and I play-- making music at home is our hobby.   

Very nice!  By the way, do any of you enjoy making up your own tunes?  I'm just a beginner on the mountain dulcimer, but I find myself strumming various phrases or bars, and eventually polishing them up to be genuine tunes.  I don't know how good they are but they sound pleasing to me...

@homer-ross Many thanks!  Hoping others will share how they marked worldwide PMOTPD! 

Very enjoyable. Thank you for sharing.

Please, feel free to share your recordings for PMOTPD 2026 in this thread!
