Whether new to the mountain dulcimer or getting started again, FROM SCRATCH is the weekend for you! During our weekend, you will experience the joy of making music on a mountain dulcimer while learning the basic skills to set you on the right path. Playing the mountain dulcimer is easier than you think…and more fun than you could imagine! Loaner dulcimers will be provided or bring your own!
