Hi,
I am basically an old uncouth rocker whose main instrument is the guitar, both acoustic and electric. I also play bass, some keyboard, and Irish Bouzouki. I have thought about getting a dulcimer for a while, but getting a decent beginners' model here in Europe isn't simple. I've managed to find a distributor that sold me a nice instrument, made with solid spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides. My first exposure to the dulcimer was the Rolling Stones' song 'Lady Jane,' wherein Brian Jones plays the dulcimer. I've loved that song since I was a kid, 50 years ago. That's enough about me.
Welcome to FOTMD, Toucan Sam. It's good to have you aboard.
