I have found some music written in the Key of A that I would like to learn how to play on my dulcimer. The problem that I have run into is that my Rick Thum...
Help us out a bit more with the tune name and perhaps the context of the note. There is no D# in A major, so it is hard to tell what the substitute might be....
... Speaking as someone who only recently (OK, 10 years ago) acquired a D#, the easiest way is to simply leave it out. That works fine if you are not playing...
