Ashokan Farewell: Music/Tabs for Stick Dulcimer/Merlin Seagull M4/Strums...


Ashokan Farewell: Music/Tabs for Stick Dulcimer/Merlin Seagull M4/Strumstick: 

This is a piece I am learning to play recently, mostly by jamming along with videos on Youtube of Jay Ungar and Molly Mason. This beautiful fiddle tune in the Key of D fits the fretboard compass on my D-a-d-tuned Stick Dulcimer. My work in progress/tab notes can be found as a free download on the Stick Dulcimer pages of my website:

Cigar Box Stick Dulcimer in recycled Cedar&Poplar wood



These are my plans for my Cigar Box Stick Dulcimer, which will be featured in a Youtube Series in 2023. This is a 20" D-A-d tuned instrument, easier to build than my standard model, shorter scale a joy to play. 


Download Version Includes:
  • Plans for the front, back, sides, bracings and Mould pattern in PDF format
  • A4 and USA Letter-sized versions to print off easily on your home computer
  • PDF Large plans in A1 format if you want to get a poster made.
  • Photos of one of my instruments
  • Copies of my Video short series for sound samples
  • PDf notes: comprehensive, including Cutting lists construction notes and fret scales
If you purchase this and sign up for updates, I can later send you Pdf copies of the book when the Youtube series is released (and any plan updates.)  
Please feel free to message me if you have any questions at all.  I am revising the notes for book format and planning to film a making guide, and any feedback will be useful,
