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.
