Learning new material on the dulcimer for a wedding is a daunting task; due to the nature of the instrument all tunes must be memorized and the musician cannot read from music while playing. Therefore I play only the tunes listed in my repretoire. I will however learn new tunes for a nominal fee.
Demos available soon.
