July DPN Arriving in Homes
Have you subscribed yet? Here's a peek into the latest issue:
Kick back, cool off, and enjoy the July Dulcimer Players News. This issue is packed full of articles to help you get more out of your instrument, and in some cases - less.
In our Technical Dulcimer section get in-depth advice, complete with illustrations, from Sam Rizzetta on how to find and eliminate buzzes, rattles and other scary noises. Chuck Boody offers tips on one of the most important aspects of playing and enjoying your dulcimer - tuning.
DPN continues its coverage of the dulcimer scene from around the world. This time we head to Australia. Butch Ross interviews three forces from Down Under.
Back in the USA we get a review of the Palestine (Texas - that is) Dulcimer Festival, a funny story involving electric fences and a well known player, an article on playing where you're sure to be appreciated, an artist profile of Michigan player, Bob Hubbach, and Ralph Lee Smith continues his research into the history of the Swedish bowed relative of the mountain dulcimer - the Psalmodikon.
Speaking of bowing, there's lots happening in the bowed dulcimer scene in the US, and much of it centers around the work of Ken Bloom. Ken shares his excitement about this once nearly forgotten wing of dulcimering.
The July "Know The Score" section of Dulcimer Players News leans in a classical direction. Steve Schneider takes a systematic look at a classical guitar piece and how to do it justice on hammered dulcimer. This is followed by a more general article on transcribing classical music for dulcimer by Timothy Seaman.
As always, many of our stories are supported by sheet music and audio on the sampler CD. Click on the Current Issue link at the top of the page to see the track listing for the CD, as well as a larger picture of the cover and table of contents.
