Great arrangements, but DAD

I should have looked more closely. I was wanting to play these on a period instrument, an ancestor of the mountain dulcimer called a scheitholt. These were tuned DAA and mostly played noter-style, from what I've been able to tell.
So, while this book is great, it is DAD and uses 6 1/2 fret, which wasn't available on period instruments. So...I'll keep looking.

Nina Zanetti- Hearts Ease

Another wonderful book of Nina’s! Took a class on one of the tunes in this book at NGFDA so had to have the book. She is a beautiful player and I aspire to become even a small measure of her talent. Some beautiful tunes in this book!

Loved it

Great introduction on some strumming, picking instructions that when I saw the tabs left me a bit confused. The brief history segment was nice about the role of dulcimer (or similar instrument) role in Renaissance and Baroque music eras. The notation is excellent, and while the songs are a bit outside of my skill level at the moment, when the pieces do start coming together they sound amazing.

Would recommend for anyone interested in period music for the Dulcimer.

About Heart's Ease

I love the way Nina Zenetti plays the mountain dulcimer so softly and expressive. I received the Heart's Ease tablature book and immediately turned to a couple of pieces that were familiar to me and loved them. I could not stop playing until I played every piece. Now to perfect them.
