HOW TO GET STARTED Welcome to my How to Play Mountain Dulcimer site! This site provides you with free online lessons to get you started playing the dulcimer. The mountain dulcimer is a unique American folk instrument and is very easy to play. It is also called the Appalachian Dulcimer because it originated in the Appalachian mountain region.

If you think you are too old or too slow to play an instrument you will be surprised by the simplicity of the dulcimer. The dulcimer is great for kids too since it can be learned quickly. Have fun!

If you want to buy a dulcimer (or build your own dulcimer) click here. The dulcimer I play was built from a Folkcraft kit on my kitchen table. You can do it too! I used it recording the tracks for my Dulcimer Instruction Course.

You can also find some nice kits and finished dulcimers here.
