Dulcet Tones: Amplifying and recording your dulcimer
A series of workshops on how to get the best amplified result from your instrument and equipment

Dulcimers are beautiful, resonant instruments rich in harmonics. But these very characteristics can make it difficult to amplify or record them. We’re offering several workshops that we hope will help people address some of these challenges. We’ll look at both live sound reinforcement and home recording setups. Specific topics are flexible based on the interest of those who sign up, but will include topics like microphone and pickup choices, using an amp for practice and performance, and various techniques for recording your instrument at home, including making decisions about which equipment and software to use.

Dates: 3/18, 3/25, 4/1, 4/8 (all Saturdays) Time: 12pm PDT (3pm EDT), each session is 90 minutes

Cost: $160

Location: Online, via Zoom Workshops are limited to 20 people Workshops will be co-taught by Tesser Call and Brian Walker
