This site is hosted by Sally S. Smith, a
mountain dulcimer teacher in the Portland area.
What is this DULCIMER?
The lap (or mountain) dulcimer is, most simply, a three-stringed instrument, held on the lap and strummed! The dulcimer's simple fret board (usually tuned to an open "D" chord) and easy-to-read tablature enables even the MOST novice player to quickly make lovely music. And the more dulcimers together, the better, so groups form easily and the camaraderie blossoms!
Do YOU want to play the Mountain Dulcimer? It's easy!
