Do you have anyone in your association that plays hammered dulcimer?
We don’t have any “real” hammered dulcimer players but if you play you’d be most welcomed to join us. Jerry & Louise were given one a couple months back and are learning to play. I acquired this vintage hammered dulcimer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5HqDjMMzbc but other than “Bile Them Cabbage Down” can’t really claim to be a player
