My heart and prayers go out to Larkin and her family at this difficult time. She was my first dulcimer teacher through her wonderful book and cassette tape, tell her thank you from all of us.

Hi Jay, they both look very inventive! Can you post some sound clips?

Thanks!

Hello to all and thank you for reviving this beautiful dulcimer site! I have been playing dulcimer since about 1994. With some long stretches of not playing due to raising children. I started playing noter-drone style in DAA with the Larkin book using the cassette tape that accompanied the book. After about a decade I found a nearish dulcimer group to play with, they played DAD chord-melody style, so I switched to that. About a decade later I had David Mckinney build me a chromatic 3 string dulcimer with a 25 inch VSL - I love it! I tune it to DAE.

Thank you, this is very useful!

I have a chromatic dulcimer built by David McKinney of Modern Mountain Dulcimers. I keep it tuned to DAE. I prefer this tuning because the chord shapes are very compact and work well for my small hands.
