I have musical aspirations. Right now, the only instrument I play well enough to play for people is the guitar. However, I also dabble in these:
- Hammered dulcimer
- Bongo drums (sort of)
I’ve “played” lots of other instruments:
- Piano
- Mountain dulcimer (Thanks, Sarah!)
- Djembe drum (Thanks, Rebekah!)
- Harmonica
- Irish whistle
- Ocarina
- Maracas
- Drum kit (Thanks, Ruth!)
- Banjo
- Bass Guitar (Again, thanks, Sarah!)
These are instruments I’d like to either explore further or try out:
- Djembe drum
- Hurdy-gurdy
- Banjo

Didn’t you play the accordion at one point, too?
I can’t remember. Maybe I’ll go play it so I can list it here. 🙂
Hi! I had the opportunity to perform “Creed” on hammered dulcimer a few months ago, and it was tons of fun. Tricky, though, as you know. Just stumbled by your blog and thought I’d say “hey” and give the thumbs up on the dulcimer playing. Keep at it!!!
I love the sound of the hammered dulcimer and have seen one performed live. I would love to play it if I could get ahold of one. 😀 Do you have one, Jordan, or know someone that does?
I have access to a dulcimer my dad made with his father. The main beef with playing it is having to tune all forty-six strings.
My playing tends to gravitate into the hobby field. Meaning I’ll get it out for about a month at a time, play regularly, and then put it away for longer than I should, rinse and repeat.
