New Dulcimers, Plenty of Holiday Books, Gift Certificates Available

A Ginger has arrived and is in DAD tuning.
A couple new hourglass mountain dulcimers are here, too - one with spruce top/walnut sides and one with a redwood top, and walnut sides.  The instruments come with padded cases and have strap buttons attached.

Shop for holiday, hymns, and folk tune books.  The mountain dulcimer tab makes it an easier way to play the tunes.  If you live in the Duluth area or are visiting in town make arrangements to stop in at the store and try out instruments.  Note - I no longer am carrying hammered dulcimers.  I only have one as a rental for someone wanting to take lessons to learn to play.

Would you like to give a gift certificate to Dulcimers In Duluth?  Send an email to wendyupnorth@yahoo.com.

I'll be providing music at Keystone Bluffs Assisted Living place this Sunday.  I enjoy providing music and introducing dulcimers to people.  The holiday tunes are kind of fun to play and add joy and peace to this season.

Dulcimer Day planning

The Dulcimer Day in Duluth festival - 15th year - will be May 14.

 That's the 2nd Saturday of May this year.  Mark your calendar.  The finalizing of the instructor/performer invites and workshop layout is going on now.  So far Mike Anderson will be coming from Illinois.  He taught mountain dulcimer classes at the festival back in its 2nd year.  Also, Ross Sutter will be coming and possibly Anne Lough from North Carolina.  I'm looking for one more mountain dulcimer instructor.  If you have any suggestions, please let me know.  Also, if you would like to teach even one class - harmonica, ukulele, or offer a discussion, such as tips on finding tunes, please let me know.

The logo for this year is almost done. Sponsor seeking is ongoing.  Even the food menu gets setup now.  I might be going with a local caterer for lunch who makes magnificent wraps.

Temperatures are dipping but that's with music playing our hearts and souls stay warm.

Hope to see you in May.
