Nina Zanetti does a fabulous job of explaining how to approach fingerpicking these wonderful tunes. It's my favorite dulcimer book!
GHS string buyer just switched to Folkcraft ball end warm strings. They completely changed the tone of my instrument from the “jing jing metallic sound” to a very warm sweet softer “sooush sooush” tone. Simply amazing!
I loved dealing with a creative artist.
Our small dulcimer group is always looking for new ensemble pieces to play, and Ellen Pratt’s books are great for that purpose. Nice that many songs even have baritone and/or bass parts.
David's books are my go to for beautiful melodies and clean easy to read tab.
