Gosh, you mean I really could play one of them underwater!! Great scot!

Mike Byers, I may take you up on that just to see what it's like! It just feels more natural to use my finger, rather than a noter. As I said to BillD, who has offered several times to send me a handmade, spezchul wooden noted, turned by himself, a master woodworker, using a noter feels awkward to me, but hell, I am game to try anything, almost, once! Thanks!

Sorcha...I am having so much fun with it. Can't remember what strings I bought last, but the hock shop over here, Mr. Money, always has all of them at half price, so when you need some, holler!

John Peekstok...if you are serious...would you please send me a PM. Don't know if it'd be in my price range, but I've decided a womon can never have too many dulcimers!

Thanks, Spaw. Thanks, CC! This is turning out to be a great threads thanks to all of you, including you, Murray...puir thing...we'll have to get you hooked, too!**BG**

luvya'll...kat
