I've been playing guitar a long time.  Picked up a dulcimer guitar on my honeymoon in 2012, had no idea what it was, but it was pretty fetching.  In early 2019 I decided to embark on making my own instruments and instrument company.  You know what they say, though, "don't quit your day job"!  I put out my own models for public purchase in 2024, and am still working on building the line, but it's getting there!!  Made some video tutorials as well... if you're working to learn how to play dulcimers , please try the free versions and let me know what you think!

I finally got my Cumberland River Dulcimers guitars (formerly "Model 1") into the world... They're excellent, so please have a look and let me know what you think, or sign up for the waitlist if you're interested in learning more about their unpredictable releases! LOL

Hi Ryan, 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.
