Hammered Dulcimers, Mountain Dulcimers, & Autoharps

What we’re about:

QUADAS is a group of good folks who are interested in learning more about playing the hammered dulcimer, mountain dulcimer, and/or autoharp. Many of our members also enjoy branching out into related instruments – mandolin, fiddle, whistle, psaltery ….. We come in all different shapes and sizes and skill levels. We play an eclectic mix of Celtic, Mountain and traditional  music. 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. Beginners are the players the club is built from. If you are a beginner or just think you’d like to learn, you are more than welcome to join us!

Where we play: The Zwingli United Church of Christ in Souderton has welcomed us to its community. QUADAS [kwah-dus] is easily accessible from Bucks County, Lehigh County, and Montgomery County in eastern Pennsylvania. We also have members from Villanova and the Main Line who make the trek up to Souderton. You can find directions here.

When we play: We meet on the second and fourth Mondays of each month from 7:00 until 8:30PM

Next Meeting: June 12th, 2023. We will play from the following list of tunes.

Ashokan Farewell, Bicycles and Cars, Bridget Cruise 3rd Aire, Down By the Sally Garden, Elk River Blues Harvest Home, The Hundred Pipers, I’ll Fly Away, Liberty, Lullaby for Ruthie, Midnight on the Water, Nail that Catfish to a Tree, Over the Waterfall, Pig Ankle Rag, St Ann’s Reel, Shove that Pig’s Foot a Little Closer to the Fire, Simple Gifts, Southwind,
