Thank you for the welcome Richard. I am a long time wood carver so I guess the wood work in the various dulcimers caught my eye. I am looking forward to being a member in FOTMD. Thanks again Frank
10/25/21 09:28:44PM @suilven:
Thanks for the warm welcome, Richard. I'm taking up the MD later in life and am just now awaiting delivery of my first instrument. Having played drums and percussion for a long time now, rhythm and timing is not an issue for me, but learning melodic theory is quite new to me (although I've played a bit of guitar and piano), so that's where I'm putting my attention while I await the dulcimer's arrival. Looking forward to learning from you folks.
09/13/21 11:11:12PM @rg:
Thanks for the welcome, Richard! I'm glad to be here and look forward to learning a lot.
08/02/21 01:11:05AM @nell-mae:
Thanks for the warm welcome, Richard. I feel fortunate to have found such a great site full of wonderful dulcimer enthusiasts. 
07/27/21 08:43:40AM @nature8:
Thanks for the welcome, I am excited to have my dulcimer back after a few years of lending it to someone; my fingers are starting to remember what to do.
07/19/21 09:10:29PM @paintedtrillium:
Thank you so much for the kind words of welcome! How cool that you heard the instrument at Disney and then came home and ordered your own. Awesome!
05/05/21 07:25:04PM @deant:
Thank you Richard. I actually was a member a few years ago, but haven't been on in a couple of years. Looking forward to getting back into it.
04/15/21 09:25:52PM @pattycake:
Thank you for the warm welcome Richard. Really looking forward to participating in this community. What I have read on the Dulcimer is that it is an easy instrument to learn. But I haven't found anything easy about it yet!! lol This may just be what I need to get me going. Looking forward to the journey.
