Our Purpose
Our Purpose
The Silver String Dulcimer Society’s goal is to broadening people’s knowledge and appreciation of live music played on traditional historical instruments. Silver Strings purpose is to play the hammered dulcimer together with other instruments for our enjoyment, and to promote and encourage knowledge of the hammered dulcimer through regularly scheduled meetings, workshops, performances, newsletters and other related activities.
“What is amazing is that many people in Michigan have never heard or seen a hammered dulcimer. Yet our featured instrument, the hammered dulcimer, has a long history in Michigan. It was played throughout the lumber camps. Henry Ford’s mother played it and he created an orchestra that included the instrument.
Michigan has the largest number of hammered dulcimer players of any state.”
