Thanks Lexie - Please feel free to ask any questions you have and I'll try to help. I love playing noter drone style as I think it brings out the unique nature of these wonderful instruments
Robin, though I'm sure some people think it's "overkill," I usually bring 2 dulcimers, tuned differently to make the transition between keys easier. I also, though I love my instruments with pegs, bring only instruments with geared tuners for ease in changing tunings. I also keep a capo on each of them, in case I need to get in, for example, G really fast. Of course sometimes they're moving so quickly, I have had to just barre the chords. All that being said (whew,) next session to which I go, I will take 3 stringers and a noter and see if I can't "fit it in" the session as well as you do. You're carrying on a great tradition there and I love to listen to you. Your cd is in mypermanentrotation for the car.

Wonderful again, Robin. That low "G" tuning made that McSpadden sound like I D Stamper. Loved it!
Great stuff Robin
