How Do You String & Tune A Dulcimer?
If you aren’t used to tuning stringed instruments, getting the tuning right the first time can be difficult. Luckily, a dulcimer is one of the easiest instruments to tune since it only has four strings and 3 of those strings are tuned to A. With a little practice, stringing and tuning your dulcimer will become second nature. Remove your old strings by either unwinding the keys completely or cutting them wire cutters. Depending on the type of bridge you have either remove the pegs at the base or untie them from the bridge. Then simply pull the remaining ends from the keys. Start with the bass (D) string. Again, attach the string to the bridge depending on the make of your bridge. If you have pegs, place the looped end of the string into the peg and push the beg down into the bridge. If you simply have holes, tie the string to the bridge by forming a small loop and pulling the loose end through the hole. Pull it tight, making sure that none of the loop extends into the playing area. Plac
