Hello Sam It has been a while since your add was shown in the mail, so I suppose the HD is not available anymore. It would help if you could tell us what...

Huh! There is a thread that should be explored. . .What to do when you feel like your the only person in the world who plays a hammered dulcimer / Santoor /...
... Back in the early 1970s when I started playing, I was one of three players I knew of in the entire Chicago metropolitan area. Since we didn't really know...
Ya know Paul, ever since you sprung that Carp Camp site on me I've thought the same thing. Ok, so playing fast reels is tough when they're in A and you've got...
Paul makes a great point. Dulcimers are an instrument used to play music and not a be all and end all. It is heaven to go to Evart because the folks are...
I'm way to much a beginner still stumbling my way around the HD and with such limited space that it's HD on stand or BPs out to practice with everyone takes...

... My goodness, that was well said! My biggest disappointment was that when I brought the dulcimer to old tymey (one of my favorite musical genres) old tymey...
I'm one of those lurking lonely players (or at least a wannabe player) who is all alone on the hammered dulcimer. I've only *once* seen someone play and I fell...
... Sounds like you are in the same boat I was in trying to play old tymey on the HD in a true old tymey session..... they either loved it or hated it. I...

I suspect Dave and I will disagree a bit (see below), but it is good to see this thoughtful response, More below. ... Some would welcome dulcimers and some...
This thread has really grabbed my attention, and I felt that Chuck's original post was dead on. I am a relative newcomer to Evart (been there for the past two...

I have to agree with Chuck about Evart and the climate. Coming from a guitar background to a HD one I knew right off the large jam sessions weren't the place...
I trimmed off all the original messages. Go read the archives :) See below. ... Thanks for the compliment. Mentioning me in the same breath with Mark is a...

Wish you hadn't mentioned Bob Huddach. Rumour has it he just did a single performance in a small town here in South Australia at a time I couldn't get to. :-( ...
Bob has, finally, got a CD out there. It is a wonderful example of his playing; a style that I think is distinctive and perhaps dying out. It is highly...
