This book unlocked the dulcimer for me!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mel Bay Dulcimer Chord Book (Paperback)
After I built my first dulcimer, it took me three years to understand how to play it. Neil's book was the key that unlocked the mystery. And, it fits right in my case!

This review is from: Mel Bay Dulcimer Chord Book (Paperback)
I've ordered numerous books from Caiman. They have always been exactly as described and I have never had a single glich from this company. The "Mel Bay Dulcimer Chord Book" was exactly what my wife needed in order to better play the Mountain Dulcimer.
