That is a very interesting piece of software, and useful for HD players, as it can allow rapid visualization of the note positions for any midi tune. I have...
Thanks. I've been looking into several ideas lately. There are already music composer programs that let you edit musical notation and store it in digital...
I have recently purchased a Hackbrett and enjoy playing it. However, I have three questions. First, the instrument has four sets of strings for each of the...
Hello George Regarding resonance - there is always a compromise on a hammered dulcimer - too much and it rings on forever, too litttle and the notes have no...
Four strings will really make your hackbrett ring. A lot of dulcimers in the U.S. have three strings per course. More and more of them are using two. I've...
I play a yang qin, and notes have either 1, 2,3 4, or 5 strings. My comments are based on playing that instrument. ... Counterintuitively, if the strings for...
Russell Cook has an artcile out on Understanding and Fine Tuning The Hammered Dulcimer. It may help myou out. I use it every now and then when I tune up my...
If you want to minimize the ring of your instrument get the strings totally in tune. With four that can be quite difficult, but it is worth the effort. If...

... I suppose this may just be the way my ears work, but I'd recommend using a tuner to tune the first string of a course, then using your _ears_ to tune the...
... It would be a bit hard to manage, I'd think. A dulcimer's strings are at a much higher tension than a guitar's - at least, on a standard American...
I once spoke with Linda Foley about putting the same type of pegs on a dulcimer they use for a harp, ones that could, with a flip of a lever sharpen a note....
... Not at all. Some Austrian Hackbretts have sharping levers on the middle courses. Clever design... the strings pass through a slit in the center of a...
... This sounds similar to the sharping mechanism on a pedal harp, which is a rotating gizmo with two pins that act like the edges of the slit in the cylinder...
I once had an old dulcimer in for renovation which had 5 additional sets of strings which ran over a third bridge, positioned on the bottom left side....
... Well it wouldn't take much strength to do that on my yang qin, which actually does have such a device, except its a slider. Don't know why it doesn't use...
The tsymbaly player in the Tesco Band from Carpathian Ukraine apparently tunes some of the bass (right bridge) courses in chords. They've got a couple of nice...
My yang qin has 1 string at the lowest end , then2, 3, 4 and finally 5 strings for the highest notes. I don't think its to make it louder, but to have the...
I'm sending you a message about a new company my son is forming. It's a way to connect musicians with venues. Check it out! Give me feedback or email direct to...
Hello again. I'm looking to upsize from my 12/11 to a 16/15, non chromatic HD. I play for my own amusement - and force my family to listen to a few songs at...
