Description

Listen to the beautiful music of the hammered dulcimer and try playing the instrument for yourself! The Silver Strings Hammered Dulcimer Society will demonstrate the hammered dulcimer and have plenty of instruments and instructors on hand to show you how to play it, too. Each person will leave with a handout packet containing a brief history of the instrument, a diagram of the hammered dulcimer's anatomy, sheet music of a popular tune, and reference pages for where to purchase a dulcimer and learn to play.

Silver Strings Dulcimer Society has been in existence over 30 years. The club was formed to primarily play traditional music on instruments you would find being played in someone’s parlor a 100 years ago. They promote the enjoyment and knowledge of the hammered dulcimer.
