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, September 12 at 2:00 PM, the usual place. We will be working on tunes some of our members will play for our host church's service on Sunday morning, September 26. The selections will include Simple Gifts, Amazing Grace, Softly and Tenderly (in G), Shall We Gather at the River, and Abide With Me. Be sure to check the music list.

Success! On June 26th the Quakertown Area Dulcimer & Autoharp Society had some great workshops with husband and wife duo, Aubrey Atwater and Elwood Donnelly on mountain dulcimer and Judy Terwilliger on hammered dulcimer. Then, Atwater & Donnelly provided a fantastic concert for a warm evening.

Thanks to everyone who helped out and attended this special workshop and concert. Also, special thanks goes to the Pocono Dulcimer Club for their support of this event and to our evening concert openers, Cliff Cole of DayBreak and Norm Williams of Wayfarers & Company.

Check back here often for future dulcimer and autoharp happenings!
