May 30 • 3 - 4 p.m. • Special Collections LibrarySandia Mountain Dulcimers: Sweet Sounds of History. Mountain Dulcimers have earned a place in our American musical heritage. The emigrants living on the American frontier earned the name ‘hillbillies’ because they settled in the Appalachian Mountains. Musical traditions ran deep in these communities. They built simple, fretted instruments from whatever wood was available and the American mountain dulcimer was born and like many instruments, it has evolved to allow many styles of playing. Sandia Mountain Dulcimers is a group of enthusiasts of all skill levels that have a passion for dulcimers. Led by Irma Reeder, their mission is to promote and preserve this versatile instrument which is largely unfamiliar in the Southwest.
