I have taken some similar tuners apart...."

Thank you for having me as a member, in the past I have built three CGB's and now thinking that building a Dulicmer might be a good idea. I will look for some plans and show the finished item when built.
08/05/25 06:53:14PM @shopdad:
Thanks Richard, no doubt, I will be "bugging" someone for info. You tube helps but it's not like speaking to those who are dedicated assisting others.

Thanks Richard. I've finally gotten around to replying to the messages received since I joined the group.

Thank you Richard. I am learning a little at a time. I read something or watch a video several times, and it makes more sense each time I read or watch. I know I have a lot to learn!
03/29/25 09:23:37AM @mike59:
Thank you very much for the welcome message Richard, I appreciate it! Looking forward to my second adventure with the dulcimer!

Richard! I appreciate the warm welcome. This community has been so kind and encouraging so far and I look forward to engaging more! All best, Aditi

Hi Richard, thank you for the warm welcome! I'm from Japan and currently live here. In Japan, not many people play the mountain dulcimer, and there aren’t any events or communities for it. Even getting accessories like capos can be a challenge. I’m really looking forward to learning more about this instrument, and I appreciate the offer to ask questions. I’ll definitely reach out if I need any advice.
