Dragon Dulcimer

It’s been years since I have played, but that is a slick looking instrument. Makes me want to dig mine out of the cabinet.

Well, it certainly is a beautiful music instrument. Nice work.

Thanks
RickB, if you lived near me I may have been asking for you to teach me a bit about playing it.

Nice job on the Dulcimer. I also built a Dulcimer. Enjoyed building it more than learning how to play it.

That is a real sweet looking dulcimer.
Have you played it yet? Do you have a sound clip?
Thanks

I have played it; if what I do others would call playing it :-). It plays well. I did find someone who knows about dulcimers and he told me simply “it looks like a dulcimer, it sounds like a dulcimer, it must be a dulcimer.” I figured that was his way of saying it was good. So with that said I have no sound clip. But thank you for reminding me I really need to learn to play it. By the way I made two of them.
