Welcome. There are literally
hundreds of nice web sites that may be useful to the dulcimer
community. I have included some of these below. I will attempt
to categorize the links and provide a brief description of the
site. I can't possibly review these links often so there may be
some that are out of date. Please let me know if I should
remove and/or add any links by
Contacting Us. |

The Dulcimer Hymnal
|
The Dulcimer Hymnal
is an effort to give the
mountain dulcimer the same quality music that a piano or
organ hymnal would have. The arrangements were written
to resemble the original keyboard versions as close as
possible, by retaining the original melodies, harmonies
and chord inversions as best as possible. All the hymns
are arranged for the standard DAD tuning and can be used
for solo or ensemble playing. |
