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.

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.
05/30/24 08:01:51PM @misaacka:
Thanks so much for the warm welcome, Richard; I’m very happy to be here in such good company!
05/21/24 02:53:12PM @julia-rhea:
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.

Thank you, Richard! I’ve found answers to a few questions by reading through the forums. Glad to be part of this community.
05/13/24 09:17:57PM @helen:
Thank you so much! Being in the foothills I've heard dulcimers and always enjoyed their sound. Do you have any recommendations on a good luthier? I'd prefer to support someone in North Carolina, but I'm open to all suggestions. Thank you for your time!
04/15/24 05:37:46PM @micki:
Hello,
Thank you for your reply. I am learning and loving this new instrument to me.
