Subject: RE: Help: Mtn. dulcimer tuning etc.
Closest to a standard is DAD, with about a 24-gauge string for the bass and about 12-gauge for the other two (or three, if you're set up with two unison melody strings). But don't be surprised if you attend a dulcimer workshop and find you're among six players with six different string combinations and two or three different tuning systems.
