I kinda wish I'd waited to post a video of that. I can play it much faster and smoother now.

Great! I just started trying to learn that tune the other day.

Looking forward to hearing some more!!! :)

Yes, that's what I bought, Barbara! I am very pleased.
Thank you, ALL, for your kind words of encouragement! That piece already sounds better than it did in this video and I'm working on several more, feeling more and more comfortable every day.

I didn't realize you had a Berg dulcimer -- I have one too. I bought the beginner set -- which one do you have?

Leslie -- I think this is wonderful after only 6 weeks! Very nice playing.

Hi Leslie. I think you're off to a fantastic start! Nice job. :)

Wow...you're doing great! Keep up the nice work!

Leslie, very nice song and nice playing too And you've only had your dulcimer for six weeks. You are more brave than me. I haven't posted a video of me playing a tune. I hope to soon. Seeing your post gives me encouragement to do so. Thanks for sharing

Leslie, I missed your video the first time round, but happy I just came across it Very nice noter playing and your dulcimer sounds wonderful. I'm not familiar with Berg dulcimers but he obviously makes a very nice instrument. Thanks for posting this! I too have learned from Strumelia's blog and teaching......we are fortunate we have her to learn from as there are few teachers of this style.

This is excellent Leslie, and shows good command of the in/out strum pattern, and good steady rhythm.

Don't worry about speed at all- that comes naturally all by itself as you play longer. Most importantly, you've got the basics down solidly!

Love the smile at the end.

Great Leslie

You're gonna be a dulcimer player f'sure Leslie. You've got the feel for it already. That's some nice playing and a very good sounding dulcimer.

Loved it Leslie!
