Treble Bridge Placement

e interval between the fi rst note of a major
scale (Do) and the fi fth note of the scale (Sol) is called
a "fi fth".
e treble bridge of a dulcimer is precisely
positioned to divide the strings that pass over it into
two sections that sound notes one fi fth interval apart.
is means that if a string sounds "Do" on the right
side of the bridge, then that same string
will sound "Sol" on the left side.
interval relationship is clearly illustrated
by singing the fi rst two words of Twinkle,
Twinkle, Little Star.
The Dulcimer Tuning Scheme
e hammered dulcimer is laid out
in simple patterns of major scales. It is
designed to provide easy access to the
scales, or keys, most commonly used in
playing traditional music: D, G, C, F, and A.
e diagram to the right illustrates the tun-
ing scheme for our basic 12-treble/11-bass
course instruments (the D10, Apprentice,
and Prelude).
e large dots in the diagrams show
where major scales begin, or would begin if
the notes continued on in their established
patterns.
ese positions should be clearly
marked on your instrument by the white
bridge cap markers. You play on both sides
of the treble bridge and the left side only of
the bass bridge. To play a major scale starting
on the bass bridge, start at a white marker
and play up the bridge to the next white marker.
en cross over to the treble bridge to the white
marker that's across from the note you started
on. To start a scale on the treble bridge, start at
a white marker and play on the right side of the
bridge. Play up to the next white marker, and
then cross over the bridge and down to the same white marker you started on. See
the numbers in parentheses on the two upper charts on this page.
Become familiar with these patterns and then fi nd all of the scales listed earlier.
Because the dulcimer is made up of a series of scales built one on top of the other,
there are many notes that are repeated.
