Download or read book The Hammered Dulcimer Treasury of Tunes written by SALLY HAWLEY and published by Mel Bay Publications. This book was released on 2011-02-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This sizeable collection of hammered dulcimer tunes brings together over 225 old-time and Celtic traditional tunes that are commonly heard at gatherings of old-time musicians.

This book therefore features favorite selections from both American and Celtic traditions. These instrumental arrangements are written in standard notation only with chord symbols.
