I saw you and you looked like you were having so much fun,,,I can't wait to get to that point. I am still learning,,,,,,you must be a very sweet person,,,,and yes I saw you laugh,,,,
Lovely, at 4.44 I can hear the instrument singing along harmonising with with you...... ;) I have not made a Thomas style Dulcimer since 1995 but I am tempted now...
Hi Vicki- mostly i play with it in my lap because I play with friends in a casual setting. I think good tone comes more from good playing techniques than from other factors like what kind of wood on your dulcimer, or playing on a table. I do find that table playing increases the volume in most cases. But I normally have the dulcimer in my lap to play when I'm not recording a demo video.
I have a question. Do you get better sound quality if the dulcimer is sitting flat on a solid surface or if it is sitting where the body of the instrument has space under it, for example when on your lap, with your legs open, there is a space under the instrument's middle part. I notice when I have the dulcimer laying on a table the sound is more muted. When it is elevated on the ends, it seems to have a clearer sound. What do think or suggest?
