Thread Name: Larkin Dulcimer Workshop in Ontario
Subject: RE: Larkin Dulcimer Workshop in Ontario
I heard them on the first part of the show at home, spaw....up to Larkin's 'Mary Suite' on dulcimer (which was stunning), and finished listening to the programme in the house concert living room. Larkin and Andy arrived surprisingly soon afterward, and gave us a great concert til 11. I had a bit of a talk after the concert with Larkin about our dulimers and technique; her technique is not only vastly better, but also quite different from mine (for instance, Larkin quite often uses her thumb as the noter, whereas I use my pointer finger, and Larkin's 2 dulcimers both were set up as 3, yes 3, not 4 in a 3 configuration, string setup, as opposed to my 4 equi-distant string setup). Larkin is an amazing dulcimer player, and I look forward to being at the workshop on Wednesday....
