Subject: RE: Seeking hammered dulcimer
suprisingly a 12/11 isnt quite as limited as it would first seem. On first glance between the tuning chards of a 12/11 and a 15/14 it looks like you loos the A key and the low D key. Actually all you loose is that lovely low D. The missing notes in A ARE available on a 12/11, just not where yu would expect them. The 2 missing low notes are the B and A above the G marker on the bass bridge. The 2 missing high notes the E and F# are right above the D marker on the treb.
