Thanks Robin for this more than helpful video, very clear and concise; probably the best demonstration work on TH-cam for mountain dulcimer. Great for us novices. Many thanks also for supplying my fabulous McSpadden!
No, it won't work perfectly on a dulcimer with the frets set for JI in Ionian. But mixolidian E,A,A and key of G D,d,d should be OK. It is just the minor keys where you'll have the most issues with intonation.

This is an old video but it explains things very clearly. Thank you.
Thanks Trevor.
Thank you, Robin - you gave a perfect explanation!
YES! This is how you play a dulcimer. I am so sick of the fancy chords and fingers all over the place.
Love your technique for keeping that #@&$! dulcimer from slipping off your lap...
Thank you, that's very helpful. Does probably not work in just intonation, does it?
No, it won't work perfectly on a dulcimer with the frets set for JI in Ionian. But mixolidian E,A,A and key of G D,d,d should be OK. It is just the minor keys where you'll have the most issues with intonation.
Is that a felt pick?
No it is not felt It is a piece of boot leather. I got some off cuts from a local shoe repair shop and made some picks from the pieces.
@@birdrockdulcimers i never heard about leather pick ! Thanks for the idea
