Posted my first tune.

Ok, it is not on whistle.
Still a wee bit uncomfortable doing that.
It can be found at clips and snips under non-whistle. Called dulcimer tune.

I was wondering if anyone found it to be familiar. It is a tune I have been playing around with.

I have been working on Tam Lin on mountain dulcimer... perhaps I will post that as well.

That was good. I enjoyed your dulcimer picking.

I liked that too. Dulcimer is not an instrument we see very often around here.

Very nice!

I would like to hear more. Here's the link:

Very nice. Nothing sounds like a dulcimer. My sister played for a while - I never understood why she stopped. It is a beautiful sound. It would make a great duet with a whistle. Maybe in the future you can add a track.

Loved it!
Hmm, this may be another instrument to add to my to-learn list at some point in my life...

Thanks to all.

I am getting ready to post Tam Lin.

With this one, I was able to use the cakewalk program and mix in chording with the melody..

This has been a fun snow day project for me.

Lovely! Well-done! I love the Appalachian dulcimer, but don't get to hear it very often.

Laura, that's beautiful! Thanks for sharing it with us all, and please post Tam Lin as well.

You people just have to sit tight 'till I get home from work. It's so slow here, I'm getting double time and a half to sit and type this! Lucky for you, they offered to let me split at 1245 and I accepted. I'll post Tam Lin as soon as I get home (and get something to eat). Of course, my kids will probably be online and I have to boot them off first. See what you put me through?! (Hmm...if I stayed the whole day, I could buy a nice whistle I don't need...hmmm...)

Laura,

That was very nice. I love to hear the mountain dulcimer. After I get my guitar playing down a little better, I want to try out the dulcimer. My daughter's hubby made her one for last Christmas and I am gonna beg for him to make me one too.

Great playing!
Thanks for sharing it with us!

Thanks Walden! Now I just have to save to get the instrument itself...
