Thank you Carrie, comment appreciated ! The instrument was made as a standard, (27"VSL) but after reading postings here, I decided to put some heavier strings on, and was pleased with the result. Its the one I use to 'sing to mesel!'

Hi John,

I love those old shanties - and the dulcimer is just a perfect instrument for them Grin.gif

I did a gig in Aberdovey a couple of week's ago with Phil and Martin Hugill - they are Stan's sons.

They play a great shanty set - I found a clip of them on youtube:

You certainly need to sing a few more shanties John - I look forward to hearing them at Lourne Grin.gif

I really enjoy your singing and your playing John Henry.

This one makes me imagine the ocean spray on my face....it really has the feel of the sea somehow. Nicely done!
