Welcome to FOTMD, Jan. I'm a little behind the others in welcoming you. I'm glad that you are starting mountain dulcimer in your retirement. It will give you many hours of pleasure. We are happy to answer questions even if we answered them before. Sometimes previous answers get lost in the forum if you don't have the proper key words for your search. Don't hesitate to ask if you can't find an answer quickly. You may be helping someone else out who wants to know but was too shy to ask. It's good to have you aboard.

Hi all,

Thanks so much for welcoming me into this group. I have to admit I jumped ahead a bit as my dulcimer does not arrive until tomorrow and I will let it acclimate until Tuesday, as painful as the wait is! I will have a ton of questions but will browse to see if the info is already available, to not repeat. I play 6 string guitars, tenor guitar and baritone ukes, but a dulcimer has always been something I loved the sound of since an early age in East TN. I already have several dulcimers books and have been looking over all I can find. I just watched a YT video today of a Walnut Valley Dulcimer festival and was amazed at the various genres I heard. Thanks again and I will be browsing to learn from all and eventually hope to help others.

Hi Jan, and welcome to the wonderful world of the Friends of the Mountain Dulcimer.  It's a good place to come, spend some time, learn about the dulcimer, and to meet some good people.
