I've loved music all my life - self-taught on a $50 Yamaha nylon-string guitar, playing Peter, Paul and Mary. These days I gravitate toward anything modal, harp therapy, Scottish/Irish, and Early Music. Love it all!
I've been flying for USAirways/American for 37 years, love to be on the ocean, and have trouble not buying more musical instruments!

Hi Jill,
Thanks for the reply and I have managed to find a Luthier here to build me one. AfterThinking about it my worry was If it got damaged in transit and I would not want that so I’d like to thank you for getting back to me

I'm following you now, Jill!
Jill, yes I still make noters. I can make any thing you have in mind. I also started doing inlay now so that can be done to a handle. I`m primarily a bone carver and make bone guitar slides so making a noter with a bone tip was a great addition to my line of creations. Just to give you an added bit of info...bone will last a lot longer then wood as a tip.
Hi Jill,Thank you for your comments - and your situation is exactly like mine - that ol' index finger on the right hand - that first joint is a problem.Thank you for the suggestion - I am going to order some so I can check them out!I will post more later.Thanks again!Cindy
Hello and welcome to the site. This is a great place to share ideas and listen to music. I hope you enjoy!
Howdy and welcome to the FOTMD crew!
Hey Jill, welcome aboard. Glad ya found us.
Hi Jill, and welcome to the 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.
Ben
