from 914 reviewsI just started building a teardrop using those plans. So far every thing is working out real well.I am a slow worker so it might take me awhile.

Very well made case for my clarinet. Seams, stitchings, zippers all good. Nice looking too.

I was a little disappointed when I received the book but it was my fault because i was expecting a book of duets. However after playing with different tunings and the capo I am really enjoying this book. I also love the printed section- very informative.

It allows the attachment to remain on the dulcimer without having to remove the strap. Would like to see just the attachments being soid so I can move the strap from one dulcimer to another.


What a great book.... I could just open it up and play right away. Would recommend for any level of player to enjoy Christmas music.


Melanie Johnston's TablEdit manual helps clear up the mystery of using TablEdit. The manual addressed a lot of the problems I was having using the program.


Purchased this Pennywhistle at the recommendation of the instructor of a recent workshop. It is an "upgrade" from a metal pennywhistle...very pleased with the tone and ease of fingering.

I am a beginner and this strap is just what I needed to keep my dulcimer firmly in place !

I did indeed receive my order (and given that it was so close to Christmas),I was greatly impressed in the speed in which I received it. I am pleased with everything in my order but haven't had a chance to check out the actual working of the machine heads.

I love the way Nina Zenetti plays the mountain dulcimer so softly and expressive. I received the Heart's Ease tablature book and immediately turned to a couple of pieces that were familiar to me and loved them. I could not stop playing until I played every piece. Now to perfect them.

I thoroughly enjoyed playing the compilation of Christmas tunes in this book. It suited my advanced beginner level well. Clearly sized print was easily read
