I'm 14 and have been playing for 'bout 6 years, but you can't tell that from my playing!

Neat Hunter! I didn't know that you had won some competitions. Which ones are they?

I am 17 and have played the HD for 15 months and the MD for 6 months. Really enjoy the HD.
But I have played fiddle/violin for years and also play guitar, bodhran and mandolin.

Hi there

14, been building and playing for a few months now. I'm not that bad at playing, partly due to a recent holiday where I took my dulcimer and worked on technique and new tunes. I think I'm alright, but I've never seen anyone else play in the flesh, so I have little to benchmark it with!

Thanks,
Barnaby

I'm 22 now; started playing mountain dulcimer when I was seven. Currently attending South Plains College where I'm actually majoring in Bluegrass Mountain Dulcimer. I can't think of anything better to do with my life than play dulcimer! It's exciting to see so many other young players out there. Keep it up!

I actually JUST passed over into 26 about ten days ago, but I was 25 when I started at the beginning of the year!

I'm still playing MD and have been for A year and ten months, I am currently the Mid-Eastern Regional Mountain Dulcimer Champion, I have also brought the dulcimer to my girlfriend (Age 16,who took 3rd in the region, who had been playing for six moths at the time and my star student), and a buddy of mine who is a phenomenal juggler/singer who is 17, playing for a little over a month and is going to give us all a run for our money! I hope to bring the dulcimer to even more people, young and old!
