Hello Dusty, thank you for your comment. Yes, capo at the 1st fret is one option. But more and more, I tune my DAD dulcimer to DAC when playing pieces in minor.
I have posted some photos of the Taisho Koto in a new gallery yesterday. You can find it here:
Thank you, Helen and Lisa! :)
I've uploaded some more taishokoto videos to my YT-channel . It's fun! :)
This is great! My hat is off to you...amazing work!

I bought that instrument via ebay from Japan. Even it was labelled as "used" it is in almost mint condition when it arrived here! :)
That's really cool, Peter. Could you post a picture of the "other" side of the instrument, the one facing you?
I learned that tune on the dulcimer from Neal Hellman. He plays it with a capo at the first fret in Em.
Thank you, Patty - glad you llike it! :)
Peter, Yes, I do enjoy this. Very interesting instrument!!!
I got this instruments yesterday, so there are some little mistakes resp. some hesitation in this recording. Hope you enjoy anyway... :)
