A New Feature for the 1-3-5 Bulletin Board 


No doubt reader tastes vary in the kinds of music they prefer to see each month on this website. 

We have tried to choose a wide variety of music, as may be seen from a review of TABLATURE ARCHIVES.

For the coming year, we will be posting other old favorites such as Poor Butterfly, The Glow Worm, Let Me Call 

You Sweetheart, For Me and My Gal, and many others. We now have ready a nearly two-year inventory of music 

for your selection.


Thanks to all of you for your continuing interest and readership. Questions and comments from readers, teachers 

and performers are welcome and encouraged.


Your 1-3-5 Team...

Merv, Ruth, Elizabeth and Suzanne.

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.


Let us know if you have any comments or questions about this.

Your 1-3-5 Team
