The hammered dulcimer spans an incredibly wide geographic range, and with that comes a wealth of unique tunings, layouts, and patterns. This workshop explores how those variations reveal surprising connections across the instrument—connections that, once understood, can unlock ease, speed, and creative freedom in your playing. One of my favorite sessions to lead at QDF, this is a hands-on visual approach to mapping out the dulcimer and seeing it in a whole new light.
