About the Lessons
| 1. | Why I Like It Part A |
In the first video, Robert explains why he prefers to play the diatonic dulcimer, a dulcimer without the 6 1/2 fret. He is a Pythagorean theorist - and you'll have to watch the video to figure out what on earth that is! |
| 2. | Why I Like It Part B |
Here Robert shows us how to find the missing note on the middle string, if we really need it. In other words, don't worry about the diatonic dulcimer having limitations. |
| 3. | Why I Like It Part C |
Robert continues demonstrating how to "bend" the string to raise the tone 1/2 step. To make the diatonic dulcimer work for him in any key - he can retune, start the scale in a posittion that lets all the notes fall in the right place, or he "bends" to get there. |
