Aeolian (DAC) Dulcimer Tuning
This is a cool tuning! It’s kinda dark. Tune (low sound to high sound) D-A-C to a tuner (the double strings are C). Or Tune the ‘bass’ string to D (or somewhere around a D if you’re playing alone/with compliant friends is ok), then press the 4th fret of that low string, and tune the open middle string to that, Then press the 6th fret of the bass string and tune the double strings to that.

I love this tune and its a great one to improvise on. A noter (little dowel rod) is optional – but a great addition on this one! Check it out!
