Who has the scoop on mountain dulcimers? I feel like learning a new instrument, and dulcimers have a nice sound, are fairly inexpensive and look pretty easy to learn.

I have one friend on Facebook who plays the instrument. I figure I’ll be surprised if anyone else I know does, but it would be an amusing surprise.

Addendum: Here’s a rather famous singer performing one of her early songs on a mountain dulcimer.
