Hi Ringo, and welcome to the wonderful world of the Friends of the Mountain Dulcimer. It's a good place to come, spend some time, learn about the dulcimer, and to meet some good people.
Well Ringo, you'll find over a hundred stick dulcimer enthusiasts in that group. There is a lot of useful information there which I think you will find helpful. Enjoy the group and the rest of the site.
What type of information are you looking for about a "stick dulcimer" which is not a mountain dulcimer. It does have a diatonically fretted fingerboard, but because it has a neck it is not by definition a dulcimer which is a member of the zither family of instruments where as a "stick dulcimer" is a member of the lute family. The tablature for a mountain dulcimer can be used with the "stick dulcimer."
Welcome Ringo to Friends of the Mountain Dulcimer. Great to have you join. This is a great place to visit and learn with lots of expertise and experience vested in our many members. Best wishes on your dulcimer journey.
