What we're about: The Quakertown Dulcimer & Autoharp Society is a group of good folks who are interested in learning more about playing the hammered dulcimer, mountain dulcimer and/or autoharp. We come in all different shapes and sizes and skill levels. Some of us are just starting out on one of these instruments and others of us have been playing for years, but all of us can learn from one another. We typically break up into groups based on our level and instrument with one of our more advanced players, learn some good music and playing technique, and then we all come together for a group jam session. Beginners are welcome to join us!

Where we play: The First United Church of Christ in Quakertown, Bucks County has welcomed us to its community. The Quakertown Area Dulcimer & Autoharp Society is easily accessible from Bucks County, Lehigh County, and Montgomery County in eastern Pennsylvania. We also have members from New Jersey who make the short and scenic trek across the Delaware River. You can find directions here.

When we play: We usually meet on the second Sunday of each month from 2:00 to 5:00PM

Next Meeting:  Sunday, February 12 at 2 PM at First United Church of Christ in Quakertown.
For this meeting we'll focus on "Chinese Breakdown," which we have already played and "Cluck Old Hen," a short and basic tune. Both pieces are in Join the Jam. If you would like to buy a copy of this book, you can get it here. There are versions with and without a CD.

Check back here often for future dulcimer and autoharp happenings!
