Hammer Dulcimer App a Real Hit!
I knew of Michael's other music apps and had downloaded and had fun with his two row button accordion app. But I didn't know about the hammer dulcimer app until I tripped over it via YouTube. Well, I downloaded it and was able to practice a few of my dulcimer tunes right away. For someone who loves the hammer dulcimer, but hates tuning or hauling it around, this app lets you get in a dulcimer playing fix without the hassle of tuning or setting up - and you can practice quietly with headphones so no one else is bothered. My only gripe has nothing to do with the app itself: I now need a bigger iPad to play more and faster!

Incredible sounds, this app is full of musical possibilities
UPDATE: My original review is below, I’m updating it since the dev has added MIDI & AudioBus, the only things I felt were keeping it from being a 5 Star app. The MIDI works great & Audiobus too..thank you for the update!
The sounds are crazy good, so realistic. The interface and design are wonderful. The only thing keeping the app from 5 star perfection is the lack of iOS music production integration. This app needs Audiobus and Inter-App Audio compatibility. MIDI would be really useful, but at the very least let us get these sounds to our DAW apps, etc. Aside from the mildly curious who'll mess with it once or twice, the people who would really use the app are musicians/producers who are using iOS and other great apps to make music. Budge up to that market and you'll have a big time following.

Version 4.0 and later, released in June of 2018, has both Audiobus and MIDI control.
Beautiful tone, very playable
This app is probably aimed at those who know what they're doing, yet is still very accessible to punters like me. Straight away I was able to coax some lovely melodies, and understand how the app worked. The tone is beautiful, and the control surface a joy to work with.

Love it! but Please fix bundle app
This is exactly what I've been looking for in a dulcimer app and great starter for when you're going to buy a real one!
However, I have tried to purchase the bundle app numerous times and it has not worked for me and thought it was my card and it wasn't. I'd like to get the Bundle App so please fix it soon! I look forward to getting all the other apps but would like to buy the bundle app!!!
Thank you!

Your issue has nothing to do with my app, please check with Apple as to why you can't buy the bundle.
Not fully compatible with Cubasis
Like the Roland Sound Canvas, this app is NOT fully compatible with Cubasis. I bought it after deciding the sounds were a close substitute for my Dusty Strings dulcimer. Unfortunately, it doesn't show up in Cubasis as an available MIDI instrument. I'm guessing I can send background MIDI to it, but that's not why I bought it. Bummer.
