Mike Pugh delivered the hammered dulcimer to my cousin in rural England; she's
delighted, but wondering about local and regional resources for the instrument.
Does anyone know whether there are any players or organizations in the United
Kingdom offering instruction on hammered dulcimer? She'd particularly like to
attend a workshop or two, to get her started on tunes and technique.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Oh, you'd be surprised, Larry. In the long, dismal winter, when the winds howl
and polar bears roam our streets eating dogs and small children, we huddle in
our igloos and leaf through the Rand McNally World Atlas, wishing we were ANY
place else.....

Wade,

We can send you over some dead animals for those polar bears... it's a small price
to pay to save those poor dogs and small children! A chilling story if ever I
heard one.
