Meet Mike Clemmer, an Appalalachian dulcimer maker, and listen to the sweet sounds of the classic instruments he makes. --------- WATCH MORE: www.voanews.co...
I listened to and played a little in a group that was meeting in Crockett, Texas, before Covid. I'm still very much a beginner but love music. I'm a originally from West Virginia. Your various types of dulcimers are beautiful and fascinating.
Got mine from here in 2019. Last visit here b4 Dan passed away. Thank you Mike for sending it to me. It arrived on my birthday, April 17, 2020. I agree with you...Townsend is a beautiful place. I miss our yearly visit. Hopefully can get there one more time. ❤
I have a mountain dulcimer and I’m getting reacquainted with it after many years of not being able to play for one reason or another. What is the bowed instrument in the last sequence that the woman is playing. I love traditional folk music instruments but I’m not familiar with that one ? Wonderful video by the way ! Regards from Toronto Canada!
dulcimers in general are cheaper than violins and guitars and mandolins and banjos etc. because they are simpler a to construct and easier to make. Although these are pretty fancy looking with intricate carving, so I don't know
Do your dulcimers have 5 strings? Mine was made by Bill smith in gatlinburburg strings TN in the seventies , he was a master dulcimer maker and well known. Mine has. 5 strings which I’m told is unusual. It has wooden pegs,which keep slipping. I have used rosin shavings to help. There are no dulcimer teachers in LA..do you teach?
I have 3 of Mike's Dulcimers and have an itch for another one.

Getting a banjo Dulcimer is one I'd hoped to buy. We didn't get to make that trip to buy that. 😢
