Following a very successful event in early June, with about 1500 individual participants from 7 countries (many from the UK), a second event at the end of August is now planned. Around 30 tutors will teach up to 20 sessions each over the 2 days, in hammered dulcimer, mountain dulcimer plus other instruments such as ukelele and penny whistle. Classes will be at a range of levels.
