Subject: RE: appalachain dulcimer - what to play
DAC is a wonderful tuning. I use it for Shady Grove, Black is the Color, The Orphan (an Irish jig), Suil Aroon and a few other minor tunes I can't recall at the moment, since my tunebook isn't handy. Something about lowering the tension of the melody strings does wonderful things to the resonance of the instrument.
