Love this. Trying to work out whether the dulcimer has semitones/tones or a mixture of the two. I'm guessing, looking at the position of the frets that it is mixture, but I'd really like to know. Intriguing instrument, lovely sound. Thanks Ken.

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

It has a 1.5 fret. This is minor 3rd as well as the major 3rd. Also a 6.5 fret. This means it has a major 3rd as well as a minor 3rd. Otherwise it is a regular diatonic scale.

@@KenMiddletonUkulele Thanks Ken. That's really interesting. Thank for the info.

Enjoyed this very much. Thank you. I know not the scope of this tutorial, but what would one look for in buying a dulcimer?

[@KenMiddletonUkulele]

It depends a bit on where you live. I would go for an instrument made by a single builder or a small workshop. If you can afford it, go for a well-known US builder. I would get a cherry wood one to begin with. Mine was made by FolkCraft of Indiana. I think this company has just two luthiers.
