I don't know anyone who plays the mountain dulcimer, but I have been thinking about getting one. The only one I have ever heard is on a CD by Bill Graves of Conway, Mo who I'm sure has passed away by now. Will SWilson <bwwilson@fuse.net> wrote:I don't play the banjo.

TOALL: A ducimer is one of the easiest instrumente to learn to play if you have any talent in that line. I had often thought that it would be wonderful to be able to pick out a melody without thinking what to do next. Sort of your hand knows what to do but not necessary to "think" of what to fret next. I learned to "play a tune" on a dulcimer with ease. My finger became knowledgeable about where to fret the strings without haveing to think about it. It was a plesaant thing to do as long as I stayed in practice. But with one thing and another I got out of practicing. My fingers got soft and I lost my ability.
