It is a sad indicator of this forum of late.
 
There was a time when a principal of audio engineering would have been recieved and discussed with some interest in the subject at hand.
 
Maybe you could all reflect a bit on your conduct.  I don't need too of course as I am an exemplar of how one should conduct themselves on a peer to peer forum.
 
I guess we all get the internet we want.
 
Seems a bit of a shame.

Hey Jan,

Does Nostradamus have crystal balls?

I wonder where he got 'em. 

now that's funny!  we should laff at that!

 I am :) you guys kill me. I'm starting to really enjoy the sound of a dulcimer, I would like to hear it in a Blues tune but I don't think anyone is crazy enough to do that..

ohgrant

Daryl would probably be just crazy enuf to try it. If he could be arsed to play *anything*.

 that would be crazy wild. Those things look a bit expensive, Any good cheap dulcimer synth?

This is just the beginning.
 
I've been discussing with an old friend of mine the idea of a hybrid hang drum and hammered dulcimer.
 
It came about after talking with a group of old Nashville cats that I'm acquainted with who know about the sweetened tunings passed down the line, the concept involves a quality bicycle wheel laid flat with a parabolic acoustic reflector underneath (similar to a trash can lid).  The wheel is then played with the dulcimer hammers.
 
We've got a spokesperson in who assures us he can introduce a graduated tension on each of the spokes which will solve any intonation issues we may run into.
 
We've been running tests in my music room and my modded right-angle SM-57 seems to be bringing out the good stuff.
 
Let the games begin.
 
Good times.

Best regards.

MagicBouy :) A true renaissance man

Grant, try the hammered dulcimer in DimPro.
It's pretty workable.
