In search of the wild dulcimer

About this book

This book explores how to play the Appalachian dulcimer, using techniques developed by Bob Force and others. Subjects such as playing in different modal tunings, chord structures, picking styles, performance techniques, and song structures are described and shown in tablature and graphics. Some information about the origins of the instrument are also covered. I reviewed this book in the mid-1970's for the Journal of Music Therapy.
