According to this "useful Latin" website, it means, "Have a nice day!" (which is what Jim entered if you scroll a few lines below his original message.) ...
Its a hold over from a Latin class I too a number of years ago. It means have a good day. Here is another. Age. Fac ut gaudeam. Go ahead. Make my day. Sent...
I have had a hammer dulcimer for about a year and learning tunes. I am interested in getting some local friends and folks for starting a monthly old time...
I don't know, it's probably me or the area I'm in. Hammered dulcimer in either bluegrass or old timey isn't that widely accepted. I attended a contra dance...
Sometimes it's easier to set up a "music club". We have several hammered dulcimer clubs in our area. Many of them hold music jams. With a club, you will...
Hmm. That sounds odd to me, only because the hammered dulcimer is a very old-time instrument (to put itmildly) and I wonder if it was just that lead fiddler's...
I don't have much opportunity to attend real old time jams and the ones I have attended had many mountain dulcimers and always included hammer dulcimers and it...

The sustain can create a wall of sound that can be difficult to break through. Often some players have trouble hearing how loud they can be. My dulcimer has...
HD's are not traditional in any genre except maybe for middle eastern music. Can you or someone please explain to me how this is possible or elaborate on what...
I guess I may have miss spoken, something I do frequently. Variations of hammered dulcimers have been seen as traditional in many parts of the world actually...
You are right of course, Amanda, which is why many traditions, such as Greek, Chinese, Hungarian, as well as Middle Eastern and American, have developed their...
So if I'm understanding correctly, whether or not the hammered dulcimer is accepted in a group may be determined by whether the other people are trying to...
We are in danger of returning to the old "why don't they all love us HD players?" territory. Personally, much as I enjoy both playing and hearing the HD, I...
I think Ian Clabburn used the word that makes the most sense here - sensitivity. I'm completely new to the world of HD so please feel free to correct me if I'm...
... Well put. And if you are like me, you probably think the dulcimer sounds great and that it is a stimulating challenge playing it in a wide range of...
Much has been discussed in another string about the Hammered Dulcimer "fitting in", or what is "traditional." Check some of these sites for all types of music,...
Thanks for the encouragement, Wil. In Rochester, NY,we have Mitzie Collins, the "mother" of hammered dulcimer playing. There are lots of dulcimers around...
I just purchased a Yang Qin on eBay and am trying to find sources for learning how to play it: string correlations (ABCDEFG...), music (Celtic, not Chinese),...
Hi Victoria. I play my yang qin in a Celtic session and also Chinese with a Cantonese group, so I can assure you it will do both. It is a little harder to...
Hi, Paul! Thank you for your quick response! I've had a terrible time finding anything. To answer your questions: Yes, I'm in Kentucky, USA - I guess...
Viktorija, these links might help in your search. Let me know if you need strings when you get your instrument, I've got a bunch from China.......Joe...
So far, my hammer dulcimer has been staying in my room at home. It is not hard to carry it short distances but I have places that I will have the chance to...
I have a beach cart called a "Wonder Wheeler Deluxe". Carries just about everything, including my big Dusty Strings D550. Google "Wonder Wheeler" and you'll...
