Does anyone know how to prepare and use quill feathers to play the Appalachian dulcimer?

Click Here for the thread that's been discussing this subject for the past two days, with the verbatim IDENTICAL question posed as the introductory post.

Are you guys in some kind of a club?

Brandywine -

As starting this thread appears to have been your first post here, at least as a member, I apologize for not saying "Welcome to Mudcat."

And on re-reading my previous post, it does look rather more "curt" than I intended. It was not meant as criticism, since I suspected that you were fairly new here (as I didn't remember seeing prior participation by your name); and I really am curious as to why an identical phrasing of the same question came from two apparently different people at nearly the same time.

I do suggest using the other thread to continue the discussion that's already been underway there. Let us know if your question is answered there, or if you still need to know more.

John
