River Valley Dulcimer Club Play Music on the Porch 2024
The River Valley Dulcimer Club got together to celebrate "2024 Play Music on the Porch Day". The North Star Restaurant in Blue Rock Ohio shared their porch with us. Afterward we ate well, they have great food! No video for the first 24 minutes, long story, LOL

    Amazing... my friend just let me try her instrument and last night I played this first song Across the Western Ocean fron a Celtic book by Joe Collins. Now I'm hooked. So I was looking up videos to really take in all the information I can find and here you are with this video.

    Looks like everyone had a great time. We need more of this type of fun in these crazy times. I recently adopted a bowed psaltery. Poor thing's been badly abused. Someone cut through all it's strings, bridge saddle rod is gone, it has no bows. So I'm giving it some long overdue TLC, will try my hand at bow making along the way. It's now officially a part of my collection of musical instruments that compete for my time/attention. All of which I play well enough to fool others into thinking I know what I'm doing. This one will not be an exception. Once recovered from it's trauma, we will spend time together learning how to bring smiles to those we meet. Also, hope to move to WV within a year. So maybe I'll be a part of this event in the future.

  • @elusiveeskimo3013

    Very useful instruction, thank you. Just got my first bowed psaltery. But it will require some TLC before I can start playing it. The wife of it's previous owner got pissed at him about something, cut through all the strings. It then got passed around like an unwanted child. The bridge insert piece fell out somewhere along the way,, bows are missing, long gone. But the psaltery itself has now found it's way to me, will become a part of my musical collection. I'm researching what I'll need to know to bring it back to life. What to make the missing bridge piece out of. What strings are best and how to correctly install them. How to tune and play it once it recovers from it's trauma. Bows are not locally available, so will need to find or make a set of those. Think my autoharp tuning wrench will fit the tuning pegs, if not, that too goes on the list of required items for it's resurrection. A little time and patience, it will live again.
