Ray & Shirley Jacobs play Rocky Mountain Dulcimer

These are made of 2x4, plywood, cardboard, and $10-$20 worth of hardware. Anyone can make (and play!) one. Ray taught 4th grade for 20 years, and many of his kids built their own and learned to play. Here's a solution for any teacher strapped for funds to pay for instruments. And how much more will the kids get from the experience if they can make their own!

Great play. I think you two have played a while together. Nice cozy cabin too. I like the sound holes on those rigs. Excellent!

i love this video. i only hope i can enjoy making and playing music with someone as long as these two! i've also downloaded and read the PDF, and it's FANTASTIC! this guy is a real sweet dude, he included every little detail, right down to a chord chart and a hand drawn diagram showing how geared tuners should be correctly installed so the gears work together... i would love to learn more about ray, he seems like a great guy!!!!!

I love it, the fire in the background, make me remember the good old days a grandma's house listening to my uncle's play.
