Nope, no dulcimers. I can only barely play a little banjo and even less mando, and the only reason I can chord on the uke is that partial guitar chords (top 4 strings) work on a uke (though they are in a different key than what's produced on guitar).

We do have some kind of weird antique instrument that is somewhat like a dulcimer, but we just use it as a decoration in our living room. If I remember to, I'll take a look at it tonight and see what it's called. It's some made-up name, apparently back in the day luthiers just made up new instruments that didn't necessarily correspond to anything else.

lol, yeah a mountain dulcimer is not any more complex to play than any other plucked string instrument, but they are modal, not chromatic, which kinda messes with you lol only having certain accidentals, i never could figure out why they didn't just make them chromatic, but i guess most of the "mountain" music which is based on scottish and irish traditional music is mostly modal, but i do have fun playing it i like the drone of it, it's like bag-pipes, but strings instead of wind..... most of my original music on it exploits that lol i just let the low D drone and play melody on the unison strings....... it does have a scottish sound to it.

Well, I climbed up on the shelves and got that thing down, but it only had the name of the company inside the sound-hole. I thought for sure it had some funky-made-up instrument name on it, perhaps it was in an instruction book that we bought with it, but I can't find. Whatever it is, it's funky. It has about four courses of 4 strings each, and then a big batch of courses with 2 strings each. No single strings.

I don't know whut them big fancy words mean! I mean I think I do (chromatic is like a harmonica that only has the notes in one key, right?) but I prolly couldn't tell by looking at the thing anyhow.

I'll climb up the shelves later and get it down again, iirc it does have the inteneded note for each string printed underneath each string.

chromatic is like the guitar (A, A#, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#).....
modal is like a mountain dulcimer (D, E, F#, G, A, B, C#, D) some notes are missing, and on a fretted instrument the frets will be missing too
guitar neck = I I I I I II
mountain dulcimer neck = I I I I I I I

bad examples lol

those are mountain dulcimers, notice the goofy fret scale, that is modal
