Thank you so much. I figure it this way if I can teach myself how to play the accordion I can also learn how to play the Mountain Dulcimer too.Key is not to give up and practice,practice,practice.

Richard,
No sir, I do not. I'm not smart enough ;) but I do like to listen.

Hi Richard -- I appreciate the warm welcome from you and others in this community. I hope to get a beginning dulcimer soon. I can't really afford a custom-made instrument, so I'm researching online for some that are commercially produced. I wish I could preview the sound of the one I do buy before I make the purchase, but at least with Musician's Friend, or even Amazon, I can return it if I don't like it.
