    Thanks for making this video, I think a lot of people including me forget to just write a song in it's entirety, production comes after. I always just start Ableton expecting to write a song, but I end up just fighting with myself and the production side of things. Thanks for reminding me that I don't need a DAW to create songs.

    Thanks for the recommendation, I have been looking for a unique folk instrument, to expand my folk songwriting repertoire....

      Thank you, and I love what you said at 3:48...about going to simply get some strings, and buying yet another instrument to add to the growing collection...ha, ha, I have done that SO many times! (Even when I didn't have the $$ to do it..😂)

    Thanks Adam for some interesting ideas. I'll ease my Seagull from DAD to EBE. and try this out.

    I have a Merlin that's been hanging on my wall for some time. When I get home I'm going to dust it off. Thanks for the inspiration. For the price, I think everyone should own one. Portable and so much fun to play.

    I bought a Seagull M4, electro acoustic version (so I could plug it into my guitar amp and go wild :)), during the lockdown and learned to be reasonably proficient on it. Haven't played it much recently because I decided to take up the Ukulele (which I love) and becoming proficient on it has taken up my time, along with my guitar playing. I need to get it out again and brush up my skills on it, it's limited but a lot of fun.

    I have so many half finished songs that I feel like it would make more sense for me to do like a 10 to 15 15 minute medley instead of trying to do a 12-track album or something.

    This is a really great video, and wonderful overview of what makes the dulcimer - and especially the dulcimer guitar - such a great tool! I call them the "ultimate noodle machine"...loads of fun and a great way to discover new possibilities! If you haven't checked him out yet, be sure to look up Dirt Miller. He's an amazing singer/songwriter who also incorporates dulcimers into his music. Nice stuff!

    • @AdamSliger

      Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! I'll have to check out Dirt Miller too. Cheers!!

    I tried to use a phone app to tune my Merlin to EBe and the bass string snapped. Even my snark couldn't find E correctly, how did you manage to tune yours?

    • @AdamSliger
      @AdamSliger  11 місяців тому +1

      Are you usually in DAd? I just tune it up like normal, my strings are fairly broken in, maybe super fresh strings have too much tension to go up to E?

    • @KeithFeickert
      @KeithFeickert 11 місяців тому

      @@AdamSliger you are correct, I am very new to this. I used the Fender tuning app and it was for guitar and not merlin and only complicated the issue. I have since found another tuner app that goes by notes and not the "autotuning" that made me have a bad day lol

    I've been considering getting one so my wife (who isn't exactly guitar savvy) can jam with me. We love writing songs together but she doesn't know any instruments. Mountain dulcimers, and therefore this, are EASY to just play a good melody on. Also they're only about $100 which is a bargain.

    • @AdamSliger

      That sounds perfect!
