Cybthia ! From the limited amount of research I was able to do from this side of the pond that 'poetic arrangement' seems to be traditional ?

thanks for making comment

Love to hear you sing. Your TMB reminds me of the bridges in Paris, it's really really lovely, and with fiddle edges. Like the poetic arrangement of soundholes.

Dave, thank you for the comment, I sometimes feel old enough to be an "old field recording" lol. That TMB just seems to want to be played in a certain way! I was very lucky in that a FOTMD member, 'Bill from Indianna' sent me some beautiful poplar and offered a lot of encouragement during its making, I regard it as a shared instrument in that respect !

my regards

John

Great performance John, never heard your voice before, very pleasant surprise.

ps. don't worry about the singing ... nothing a couple of pints of Gem won't fix.

John Henry, i love it.

What a fine old traditional tone that box dulcimer you made has- in listening to it, one would never suspect it's a new instrument!

That's funny, your comment about your computer experiences. lol!
