Welcome to ModernMusicDulcimer

                                              .      Bringing the Mountain Dulcimer/Appalachian Dulcimer fully into the 21st Century.
     A new tuning, giving super-easy fingerings for all 3 notes of the triads in the key of the instrument, brings easy accessibility to playing modern, contemporary music, as well as old favorites. Play music from the radio, folk songs, ballads, country, whatever...it's all super easy.

     It also yields repeating patterns on the fingerboard, making it very easy to find adjacent notes and providing super-easy movable chords and their inversions for playing all types of chords (major, minor, etc.) in every key.

     A more modern way of thinking about music, chords, and notes simplifies everything...finding and playing notes, finding and playing chords, and transposing notes, chords, and songs, etc.

     It is very easy to learn all aspects of the system...learning to play notes, chords, and songs; learning how to think about music; learning all the steps involved in playing a song (from choosing which songs to play, how to to access free/almost free resources for getting the words and chords for the songs you want to play, choosing the particular fingerings for notes and chords, strumming, singing, etc.).

     Great for children, people with arthritis or other hand/wrist flexibility/strength issues, or anyone who wants to play their favorite music easily and comfortably.
