Hey Bing! Good to see ya spreading the love and the music around!
What was I thinking? I've only been learning the dulcimer for 5 weeks so I felt it was too soon to participate in KMW. I was so wrong. Next year for sure, and making my hubby who is an amazing guitarist join in as well. Thanks, Bing!
L loved the ADHD tune!!!
Thank you!
Love the outro tune
So many great tips... Thanks Bing
Wondering is you could tune the strings to open G ....G B D? Would this work?
Yes! 135 tuning will get you all 12 chromatic notes if you need them.
Thank you so much! Great instruction. I didn't make it to KMW this year, but I'm hoping to go next year.
You're welcome, happy to help!
I love discovering your various performances. Absolutely beautiful my friend. 😎🙏
Thank you!
Thanks Bing! You are an excellent instructor. Take care!
Thank you - glad to help!
Ah it is too, thanks Bing
Shine by Collective Soul. Correct?
You got it! It's one of my favorites to jam out.
Hey Bing, what is the tune your playing at the end of the episode?
It's "Shine" by Collective Soul.
That all is absolutly stunning , wonderful 🧡🎶😉
Thank you! I didn't get to go to KMW, so this is very special!!!
Happy to help, Teri!
Hey what was the song you played at the beginning of the video while panning on all the instruments?
Why is the base string so loose ?
It’s a trick of the camera. The string is vibrating at a different rate of speed then the rate at which I shot the video, so what you’re seeing is almost like every other picture of the string, versus a higher resolution that would not show the obvious nature of the string, moving, if that makes sense.they are not actually flopping around like that when I play.😂
Excellent ,Bing !
Thank you kindly!
Love it. I found this extremely helpful! Thanks Bing 💚
Excellent! How are you doing, my friend?
You play like I do.
sank? bloos affect cosplay?
Great spirit Bing! I very much enjoyed sharing my morning coffee with you.
Love that shirt
Thanks bing ! Needed a push.
I hope it was a gentle one!
I’ve heard it said, “they ain’t no notes on the dulcimer, ya just play it”
One of my favorite dulcimer quotes!
Gorgeous instrument
Laura! How the heck are ya?
@bingfutch ohhh just hanging in there trying to get my music wings back. Looking for inspiration. And yup, you have always been an inspirational mentor. 🙂
@@foothillsOH I'm glad you're keeping at it!
This looks like a fantastic instrument, and your demonstration and explanation are excellent as always.
Thank you!
❤excellent , Bing
Many thanks!
Awesome, can’t wait to see you in July at Folkcraft.
Cool! Looking forward to seeing you!
Excellent video Bing. New watcher over the last week. You’ve gained a new fan. Keep it up!
Many thanks for watching!
Nice!
Thanks!
Love this! It never gets old!
Thank you!
Mighty fine Bing!
Thanks, Jim!
Magical as always Bing!
Thank you!
Sadly , we are in hard times in America again .
The laugh at the end...hehe.
I love these lessons!! Thank you.
So wonderful as always!😊
Thank you!
I will NEVER cut my strings. I will however come up with a zany way to curl them.
Hola,soy de Argentina, tengo un dulcimer , serías tan amable por favor de compartir esta partitura? Lamentablemente en mí país no se consiguen. Muchas gracias!! Me encanta tu interpretación, saludos cordiales Graciela
¡Estaré encantado de enviarte la tablatura! Envíeme un correo electrónico a bingfutch@yahoo.com y se lo enviaré. ¡Gracias por ver!
Please may i know where you got that great dulcimer stand, and how i can get one? Ive been looking for one and cant find it anywhere. Thanks!
That's a Prussia Valley stand, made by the late Gary Sager. I'm happy to have one of his, but I also really like Wolf Hill Woodworking's sitting and standing dulcimer stands which you can find here: www.wolfhillwoodworking.com/
One of my favorite Beatles tunes.
Hi Bing, I just recently heard this song and really enjoyed it. I wanted to try to learn it. I hope to get your book soon to help me learn it. You do an awesome job. Thanks
Thank you! This tune is one of the easiest in the book - hope the video helps!
Just lovely!!
Thank you - and thanks for watching!
Nice going Bing! It sounds wonderful. Just curious to see how you like the size of the Dulcivox. The sustain is amazing. Cheers!
Thank you! I really like the 25" VSL, it's very comfortable without compromising tone and sustain. The overall body shape and size feel great, and it's extremely light, so it doesn't weigh on your lap like lead. It's a fabulous beast!
Fantastic demonstration, Bing. Thanks!
Thank you!
This song was made for this instrument; or a Merlin...... :-)
Right? I think George should've used a mountain dulcimer instead of a sitar!
@@bingfutch Quick question: do you think as a beginner, that the Merlin, or a Walking Dulcimer, would be worth buying rather than a traditional Mountain Dulcimer?
@@Da_Publick That depends on what you think you might do with it. The walking dulcimers are somewhat limited in their abilities, but are fun if you want to stroll while playing. Only a proper mountain dulcimer will give you the next level of playability, and they're not as easy to play standing up (but not impossible.) Walking dulcimers are a light and easy way to get into diatonic string music. I'd go with a regular mountain dulcimer if you want to dig a little deeper, get a better sound, and be able to play with a bit more authority.
@@bingfutch Thank you!
I love your Stark Session format, both visually for the clarity of your hands and with starting on the basic melody and working up to a full song with chords. That's how I learn new tunes myself, and you make it easy to play with your instruction. Thanks!
Awesome! I'm glad you enjoy these.
The hands of a master.
Thank you!
Just a stellar performance, Bing. 👍 Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
B e a u t i f u l This song always brings tears to my eyes in regards 37+ years of marriage to my beautiful wife Renee. Well done!
Thank you - love is great, isn't it?
It is!❤
