Just another one of life's cool coincidences. One of my earliest bass influences was the bassist in a local eclectic folk act call No Strings Attached, a hammered dulcimer band, the only one I know of. The bassist - Bob Thomas. I received my first tutorial on bowing the upright from him waaaay back in August of 1991. No longer with us, but Bob is very much still in my head every time I pull a bow across the strings.

I have seen hammered dulcimers played as a solo act or with another dulcimer - never in a band setting!  Too cool!  I vaguely know a folkie couple who sing duets to his guitar - or she plays dulcimer alone. 
It was her I heard addressed by another folkie with "How long does it takes to tune a hammered dulcimer?  Nobody knows....."
