Hugh makes a range of instruments. Here’s what he has to say about strummers on his myspace site.
“A Strummer is a kind of dulcimer but held for playing like a guitar. The use of open tunings makes the sound distinctive and LOUD. These instruments can be easier to play than many fretted instruments – so a great starter instrument for beginners. Howeve
r they are also being played by very accomplished players such as Sean Lakeman, the strummer being the featured instrument on the ‘Band of Gold’ track on the award winning Seth Lakeman CD ‘Freedom 
Fields’. Tom Bliss, superb songwriter and musician, who plays solo, performs wit
h Tom Napper and with Piper’s Sons, is also using a Strummer for live performances and recording. Steve Jackson, a talented singer songwriter from Lincoln, who performs solo and with ‘Ploughman’s Bunch’ now, has two 
Strummers and a solid electric ukulele made by myself. Checkout his MySpace!”
