I just came across your version of this song, very pretty rendition. Great tune.

Hello Barbara,

Thank you very much for your comments about "The Old Rugged Cross"!  It's actually not a baritone, but a standard pitch/range dulcimer (a Sunhearth hourglass).  I'm in 1-3-5 tuning in D (D-F#-A).  Quite a bit of the playing is done on the lower strings, which is why it has rather a baritone-ish character.  The string gauges are .024", .014", and .012".  Actually when I recorded this tune the strings had been on the dulcimer a fairly long time and were really due for replacing, but I thought their duller than average character suited this piece!
