... In addition to everything else that has been said, there are two other possibilities. First, tuners are fickle things. Some tuners can show you several...
Paul, I'm not sure you said what you wanted to say. You said: "But the more likely issue is that your bridges are not set correctly. Check the interval...
Hi, Amy. Just a thought.... be sure your tuner is calibrated to 440 (you should see this in the display window). If the tuner is set for a different tuning ...
Hi, Amy. All of the advice you have received is very good. Another simple thing to check that may have made you tune so "out of tune" is that you want to make...
If your tuner is miscalibrated, the dulcimer would still sound good by itself after it was tuned. You'd only notice the difference when you tried to play with...
... What I said was correct but possibly a bit confusing. Let me expand a bit..... If the bridge is in the CORRECT position but either side is not at the...
I'm not sure what kind of "out of tune" you mean, but if the instrument sounds like it's in tune with itself but not with the rest of the world, check and make...
Yeah, I've gotten that before. Could be your bridges are have been bumped to weird intervals, could be you're actually getting green lights for sharps and...
... . I wonder whether she means that the dulcimer sounds internally inconsistent, not that the entire instrument is uniformly sharp or flat, as would be the...
Two comments I think are accurate: 1) Conrad is probably correct that tuning around a circle of fifths might help a very out of tune instrument settle down...
Thanks everyone. At this point I am going to guess that it's the tuner. I've had trouble with tuners before, just not this one. I am going to work on getting...
I tried to remember your suggestions as I went to try again. Yes, the tuner is set to 440. I am now noticing that the notes on the left side of the treble...
... It is definitely something you can try yourself if you are adventurous. Generally you need to move the bridge(s) a very small mount. Depending on your...
... I have heard all sorts of opinions on how to tune...... in fifths, in thirds, in octaves, from each end, etc. In my experience, it doesn't make much, if...

correction to the recent announcement of november 1 concert: the event on nov. 1 will start at 12:30 (doors will open at 12:00 noon). the section of program...
Thanks Paul. How do I 'tap' the bridge? Never done this before. Now this is strange. It doesn't sound as bad now as it did the other day, and I haven't done...
Its rare the bridges on a HD get out of position but it does happen. The Bass bridge position isnt crittle but it should be within at least an 8th of where...
... Well, basically you want to tap it to move it a very small amount in the direction of the flatter note of the fifth interval. Tap it with anything that...
Hello, I'm wondering if any one can help me at very short notice! I have organised a concert in London THIS Saturday (14th) which was to include Farshad...
I've seen people at festivals, etc. wheeling their hammered dulcimers around on what looks like a dolly made especially for this purpose. That would sure beat...
... There are about as many dulcimer transport ideas out there as there are people. One that is very popular is called the Wonder Wheeler Deluxe (if you can...
Thanks everyone for your replies! Cathy, the link you gave me is similar to what I've seen people pulling around at festivals and wondered what it was called....
That's great! Happy that I could help. A warning; I did have problems with the equipment causing rubbing on the wheel but the bungee fixed that right up! Also,...
Due to the size of many HDs its unlikely you will find anything ready made. As stated previously you will most likely have to modify something big enough you...
