About SCDH 
The Southern California Dulcimer Heritage
was formed by a group of dulcimer enthusiasts to foster the vitality of common
and diverse musical heritages by promoting public awareness, access, and
appreciation of Fretted and Hammered Dulcimers and their international
relatives. Many opportunities to meet others who share a love of music can be
found by participation in SCDH events. Check the Monthly Calendar for these
events and more...

From SCDH President, Bobbi Adler......
Welcome to the SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DULCIMER HERITAGE website.
SCDH is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the perpetuation of the
HAMMERED and FRETTED (Mountain or Appalachian) Dulcimers and their international relatives.
Along the way, we hold musical events during the year, such as our monthly regional dulcimer
group gatherings, annual Shipley Center and Picnic/jams, co-sponsored jams, and
the Harvest Festival of Dulcimers each Fall.
If you love dulcimer and traditional music, whether you play or not, you’ve come to the right place.
You will find a warm group of people who believe in the beauty of music just as you do.
We hope you will consider becoming an annual Sponsor/Supporter (think ‘Member’).
We are staffed entirely by an all volunteer board and depend on sponsorships for operations.
Other volunteers are greatly appreciated at festival time or year-round.
You are also encouraged to join our e-calendar email list for monthly dulcimer-friendly event listings.
Be assured that SCDH at no time discloses addresses to any other persons or organizations.
Can we help you in any way? Contact us!
Best Musical Wishes,
Bobbi Adler, SCDH President
