Thanks for the warm welcome.  Wayne Henderson from Carlisle, PA, got me hooked on the mountain dulcimer several years ago (after my wife had repeatedly encouraged me to give the dulcimer a try).  This is my first stringed instrument and although rhythmically challenged I seem to have a pretty good ear and enjoy playing.  We lived in Carlisle from 2015 to 2020 and played with Wayne and his wife Elissa. 

We currently have 2 dulcimers made by Wayne and one made by Benjamin Stone.  The latter had been dropped and the neck broken.  Wayne was able to masterfully repair it and added mechanical tuners....I didn't have much success with the original tuner pegs.  It's a wonderful instrument.

Are there any dulcimer players near Warrenton, VA, that would like to get together and play.  I'm an advanced beginner.  I'm also a Patron of Bing Futch which allows me to share any of Bing's TAB music and MP3 recordings with folks I play with.

Thank you so much for the welcome and the info!

Thanks Richard. I'm making a dulcimer from a 30-year-old kit I bought from a neighbor. Interesting work.

Thank you, Richard. I have to admit, I've been "lurking" for a while before actually joining. So I've already come to appreciate the helpful information here, and I'm looking forward to reading many more of the threads. 

Thank you Richard for the warm welcome. 

Thank you! It's nice to be here. I've already learned a lot!

Thank you, Richard. I'm hoping I can find a new group to play with down in the Hickory/Granite Falls area when we move down there in the spring.

Also, if there are any players in the Central Ohio area, I wanted to let you know we have a new group that is meeting. Visit Buckeye Strummers on Facebook for info about our next meeting and the tab that we will be playing.

Thank you, Richard.  It's a new adventure!! 

(BTW, it's Anne with an "e")  :)

Thank you, Richard!

Hi,
Thank you for the nice welcome.  I'm getting an older used one next week and can't

wait to start the learning process.

Thank you Richard!!!

Thank you for your greeting!

Hi Richard!  Unfortunately I won't be able to see or play the dulcimer yet as it's miles away in Auckland in the N Island.  I live in the S Island.  We are planning to go there shortly before Christmas, so will have to wait until then.  I note that it's considerably bigger and heavier than my current instrument, so will take some getting used to.  

Thank you, Richard!

Thanks Richard for the welcome.

Thanks so much for the warm welcome, Richard; I’m very happy to be here in such good company!

He was such a talented man! He played for me and showed me his workshop and built me a custom beautiful cherrywood dulcimer. I lived most of my life in Alaska and was exploring my roots in Tennessee when I met him and I was blessed to him be my first exposure to my country roots and music of the mountains. Thank you so much for the info about him!

Thank you Richard.  It will take a minute to find my way around the site..  I look forward to hanging out here.
