A New Feature for the 1-3-5 Bulletin Board We have tried to choose a wide
variety of music, as may be seen from a review of TABLATURE ARCHIVES. You Sweetheart, For Me and My Gal, and many others. We now have ready a nearly two-year inventory of music for your selection.
and performers are welcome and encouraged.

Jamming/playing back-up chords in DF#A and other 1-3-5 tunings
We would like to call attention to a feature of open tunings such as D-F#-A (and others), that most players may not recognize. When tuned to a 1-3-5 tuning, a dulcimer is capable of playing both melodies and chords in several different keys without resorting to retuning or capoes! To illustrate this feature, readers are referred to:
Learning Aid #8 - Using the 1-3-5 Tuning for Back-up chords
It is posted on this website under Learning Aids. This helpful chart lists all the major and minor chords playable in a D-F#-A tuning as accompaniment to other instruments, chromatic or otherwise. This is a real help for those who enjoy jamming with other folk instruments.
