Bing takes a no-frills approach to getting started with mountain dulcimer. Here he demonstrates how to 1) figure out tunes you know, 2) make up your own tunes, 3) noodle around, all after a quick tutorial on how to play the drone melody style. A great beginners resource, or for the passing curious.

Bing Futch is endorsed by Folkcraft Instruments, V-Picks and Wolf Hill Woodworking.
