How did we get started talking about sheet music? I know how to read music. From time to time I post a traditional piece with a harmony part which I have written myself. Hard to do that without being able to read music.

The thing about the threaded dulcimer is that it helps to look at it while you play it, especially when you play it more than one way. I find it much simpler to play it without sheet music.

I appreciate all the input I've been given. I'm off to Texas now for the Texas Toot, realm of the six-foot-high recorder. (see toot.org) Adios
