Any mountain dulcimer players out there? I just love the melody/drone Appalachian sound. Apparently these things are technically fretted zithers. Last year, we took a roadtrip down to Memphis; this year, we're thinking of driving down through the Appalachian's....maybe we can find some music festivals along the way. If anyone out there knows the Appalachians, I'd be happy to hear from you.
