Subject: Non-clunky strumming on the dulcimore
How do you do it on a lap dulcimer? Everyone says they love what I am doing and it sounds good to them, but when I tape it and play it back, it sounds as though every note is just ker-plucked!

I am still just doing the basic strumming, haven't gotten into picking or chords, yet. Rog likes it better when I use the psaltery bow I bought for it. I have some other types of picks and will experiment with them, tomorrow, but I'd really like to hear from you all, too, please.

Thanks,

kat
