@strumelia, thanks a bunch!  

We've got about 5 or so tunes we've been playing in this tuning because I just like the sound with the C drones.

I love hearing when people tune down to C.  I do wish it were more commonly done. Here, the effect is so stately and heartfelt, and the tone reminds me of cathedral bells.
Very beautiful tune played by you and Mark.  Thank you for sharing it with us!

Thanks, @dan!  This dulcimer seems to me to favor the C notes for drones and I'm enjoying the sound.
