I have...Thank you so much for posting this video! <br /><br />I have never played an instrument. Last month I received some items from my father's estate, and among them was a mountain dulcimer that had hung on the wall in his home in the Ozarks. I thought it would be nice to learn how to play it, and when I examined it, I discovered that he had actually made it in 1976. Now I am even more determined to play it.<br /><br />Since I have not seen too much interest in this instrument where I live in Northern California, I checked the internet to see if I could find some instruction. I did find a nice starting tutorial at YouTube which helped with the basics of how the instrument is played with the drones, but still did not understand the strumming. <br /><br />The video you posted yesterday was so helpful! I can see that it is going to take some practice, but the rhythm you suggest makes sense. Please keep posting!<br /><br />I started reading some of your beginning posts, too. I am interested to read more, but you have been prolific; it will take a while for me to get up to date, I think. ;-)<br /><br />Thanks again,<br />Vicki K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
