I've had a hankerin' to learn and play the hammered dulcimer. This was renewed when I saw a Celtic group a couple months ago.
Question: how feasible is it to get a hammered dulcimer on the internet from trusted sites (several makers). And how feasible is it to learn via YouTube since we're shuttered in here a home? I've done a lot of reading on sites and a lot of listening.
I've played the piano and can still peck out a couple songs, even without touching it in years (kinda like my golf game ). Years ago I tried the guitar, but my brain and hands didn't compute from horizontal piano to "vertical" guitar, plus my wrists and fingers aren't that flexible anymore.
Any advice?
