I had a made Backyard standard 5:24 cardboard that sounded very good and I really liked it. Would recommend. Gave it to an interested student. Got a student model berg With a shorter 26 VSL that i really like. Highly recommend.

Nice!! Thanks for sharing.

I had a some other brand beginner dulcimer that would not stay in tune. I purchased the Berg model and am very impressed with the difference. Thank you so much .

[@BanjoLemonade]

Thanks for sharing! Yes I’ve recommended that model to students and I’m hearing the same as well.

bill berg model seems to no longer be available

[@kathyking5191]

@@dwilliams1310 Did you call Mountain Made Music . If they are still making them they might take an order.

Thank you for this. I live in Wyoming and have thought about getting one to try. The cost has always been intimidating. I only have videos to try to learn.

whats the VSL on the backyard dulcimers? thanks for all the wonderful videos and inspiration!

[@BanjoLemonade]

Thanks, the backyards are 25”

[@LighthouseGospelBand]

Thank you for this helpful video! What do you think of the Roosebeck "Grace" and "Emma" Mountain Dulcimers? I'd like to upgrade to one from my beginner's dulcimer.

[@BanjoLemonade]

Sorry but I don’t know anything about those.

[@rsbarrett8529]

Thank You!!! This is Great for a beginner!!! Can these be tuned to baritone?

[@BanjoLemonade]

Anything can be a baritone, just takes heavier strings. I wouldn’t do heavier strings on a cardboard one though.

[@rsbarrett8529]

@@BanjoLemonade I thank you again!!!

Love my TK Obrien, it sounds better than most

[@JEANSEVERNS-ke6lm]

I’m a beginner beginner, (if that makes sense) 🤭 I love the sound of this instrument. I’ve never played a strong instrument. I don’t want to take lessons I want to learn on line & by practicing on my own. What would you recommend.

[@BanjoLemonade]

I have a website full of video lessons and a beginner course you do at your own pace. Https://banjolemonade.com

[@DyannaYarbro]

How wide is the fretboard on the Bill Berg student model?

[@BanjoLemonade]

feels standard to me

[@castironairplane]

you make me not hate the church

[@BanjoLemonade]

That’s good.

There is a lot of Christian songs I like very much, even though I have zero beliefs in any kind of a supreme being. Good music is good music!
