Easy to understand and very helpfull !
Reviewed in the United States on 10 August 2020Verified Purchase
Finally a songbook with chord diagrams for Merlins stick dulcimer ! Lots of (very) old golden oldies. This gives you a good solid base of material which you can expand on as you learn. Practice on the songs long enough and you’ll be able to pick up on variations by other musicians. In short, this is a valuable companion to the Merlin dulcimer !

fine but I only know two songs
Reviewed in the United States on 17 January 2022Verified Purchase
So it is pretty useless to me in the fact, I am not interested in any of the songs,, if you want to learn these songs, great,, I am not interested, I play Ukulele and guitar and to play dulicmer is just another chord progression to learn. happy strumming.
