Thank you!
I could listen to you play all day long. I just scored a dulcimer from an antique/vintage shop and am looking forward to learning some different playing styles.

Hi Bing! Love your videos! Would you please describe which Folkroots dulcimer you are playing here? The woods and the VSL are? I am looking to buy a new 3 string Folkroots with this exact tone.
Hi there, and thanks! As a dealer for Folkcraft Instruments, I can help you get the dulcimer you're looking for AND give you a discount not available from the company direct. This is a 27" VSL and western red cedar soundboard with black walnut sides and back. This is a D model body. E-mail me at bingfutch@yahoo.com and we can look at specs!

Very good lesson Bing I"v been playing Arpeggios on Guitar for many years But I'm having trouble playing them on Dulcimer I have no index finger cut off in 1996 have trouble playing the L Shape and T shape Chords But I'll get there I have learn a lot listening and watching you play Thank you very much.
Try using thumb, middle and ring for your shapes. The arpeggios will follow. Thanks for watching!
Those are awesome techniques, Bing. I think I'll use them for when I perform for Joyful Community every 2nd Sun. of the month.
Thanks, Ashley - have fun and thanks for watching!
You're very welcome.😊
Very sweet tunes... :)
Thank you - thanks for watching!
"Arpeggios "? Sounds like something that comes in a can from Chef Boy-Ar-Dee. Just kidding, Bing! Thanks for the video!
I think you've got a good marketing concept there. 😆Thanks for watching!
Thanks You so much Bing! This helped me understand Arpeggios! Mike Opp,s (Mike's squared) Mom
Nice! How are you liking that new dulcimer?
i love my new dulcimer! I love telling people you played it before I even received it! I still cannot do arpeggios! but I keep trying! Thank You!
Hi Bing, I am a newbie to your Patreon, and a semi-newbie to the mountain dulcimer. I have noticed in your videos that most of your diatonic dulcimers have a 1 1/2 fret, even though you are playing melody. Do you find that a great help? I know you can use a 1 1/2 fret for chords, adding a C and an F chords, and I have thought about adding that additional fret. Love your videos and lessons. Thanks.
Hi, Lee! I feel that the 1 1/2 fret is a necessary addition for diatonic dulcimer players. Besides the lower-octave C major and the ability to play F major, you can also get nice D7, G7 Am, Dm, A+, Gsus4, Csus4 chords in the first three frets, a lower-pitched G major scale, the D minor scale and a lot more. Beyond this, with a 6 1/2, you're only three notes away from being fully chromatic.
