Proponents and players of the Appalachian Dulcimer stop by the studios to spread the word about their favorite instrument.

Carrie Barnes, John Keane and Karen Keane met via the interest group Friends Of The Mountain Dulcimer, thanks to their common love of this uncommon instrument. The three self confessed "Dulcimer Fanatics" dropped by the KETR studios to talk with Matt Meinke about this lesser known stringed contraption.

Originally aired December 13, 2012 on Notably Texan.
