Dulcimerville producer Lois Hornbostel welcomes you to our 2nd year in this beautiful setting! We were delighted to have well over 200 participants in our first!  We thank all for the support, spirit and talent they brought. For 2011, we have lots of new classes, new staff and continuing favorites, and expanded housing options to suit everyone’s needs. You don't have to play already. We have an excellent Beginner course and loaner dulcimers.

“Continuing Traditions” at Dulcimerville  “Continuing Traditions” at Dulcimerville: We are dedicated to teaching the latest in playing, music and building developments of the mountain dulcimer. But that's just part of its story...We are equally dedicated to passing to our participants the mountain dulcimer's exciting and historical traditions and music that began in the early 1800s. Lois likes to call all of this our "continuing traditions." Our "Traditional Music for the Mountain Dulcimer" course is part of this, as is our Dulcimer Building course, which this year can show you how to build a beautiful-looking and sounding replica of a traditional "Uncle Ed" Thomas dulcimer.   Reproduction of an "Uncle Ed" Thomas Dulcimer by John Huron.
