Hi Guest ..I recentley took my dulcimer off the shelf and started playing again after a break of 2 years ..and as Jeanie says it is an amazing instrument. And also as J says..learn a few tunings and experiment..it's an instrument no two people play the same...or at least that's what i think! I'm in Worthing..so that makes 3 of us in the UK!! *grin*
I think you will have a hard job to find a teacher..but M/Catters everywhere will offer helpful hints and tips.
