This is a really neat site for learning. Various experts record a few videos a month showing technique for various acoustic instruments. Stop by and watch a few of their training videos, then catch a recorded jam session and play along.

On a hot July afternoon in 1983, about a dozen members of a beginning Hammered Dulcimer class met at a park in Wyandotte, MI to review what they had learned together. This was the beginning of the Silver Strings Dulcimer Society. Since then, the club has grown to over 100 members playing a variety of acoustic instruments, about half of which are Hammered Dulcimers.

The purpose of the organization is to play the hammered dulcimer together with other instruments for our enjoyment, and to promote and encourage knowledge of the hammered dulcimer through regularly scheduled meetings, workshops, performances, newsletters and other related activities.

Folktues.org is building an archive of folk tunes with the eventual goal of making multiple versions of any folk tune you might want to hear or learn freely available.
