Comparison between Mountain Dulcimer and Seagull Merlin/stick dulcimers

This video is a very detailed comparison between a mountain dulcimer and a stick dulcimer/Seagull Merlin. I made this video in response to the many questions I get on this subject. Hopefully it will be a help to you. At the end of the video I also play a hymn on each. The hymn played is Down in the Valley to Pray.
