We invite responses on DulcimerSessions.com. Those who would like to submit articles with music please contact me for guidelines. We also welcome requests for new subjects from visitors to this webzine.
I hope these articles give the reader interesting information about the instruments, how they are played, their music, and the spirit of the people who play them.
