Strumelia's Old Time Noter and Drone Tutorials

My friend  Strumelia from the social community Friends of the Mountain Dulcimer also has a Blog Spot site where she gives tutorials,  instruction, and advice on playing the Mountain Dulcimer in the Old Time original Noter and Drone style.


Here is the link to that site. Check Strumelia out if you are interested in learning this style, or just learning the history behind original Appalachian Dulcimer music the way it was before folks started to embellish and modernize it.
