Not considered a hard one to learn by most but, you pick one up and see if you can make it sound good. I can make mine cry the blues so I don’t have to do anything but live them.
People doing this are also doing these things:

Im tone deaf! my singing is tortutous.My guitar playing sounds like a cat in a mincing machine. Oh well!!
Yeah that’s right! Can’t wait. I’m going to be a bass player. Now all I need to do is get good!
I want to play a musical instrument. I am into rock music so I would like to play something that I could play in a rock band. My mate plays the drums so I don’t really want to do that.. My sister plays the electric guitar; another thing I don’t want to do. I want to play an instrument thats kind of unique. Maybe the bass!
piano. Now, if the world depended on me playing the piano to survive, i’d say…a little over a fourth would live. but the whole point is that i can play, it didn’t say i had to be good at it.
you just have to do it, you cant say your going to do because you never will. dammit stop reading this and beat that drum!

i went to dinner at deborah and garth’s house, and after we ate we retired to the living room to fiddle around with garth’s many typical and more unusual musical instruments. i got my hands on a dulcimer and i have to say, i’m in love. what a lovely instrument. you just cannot get an ugly sound out of that thing. there is something so soothing and, dare i say it, healing, about harmonic chords.
i remember reading that the ancient chinese took tone very seriously and felt that dissonance could create upheaval. earth quakes, even. one had to be very careful what sound one made, and so the pentatonic scale was born, each note sounding well with each other note. after playing the dulcimer i felt like i knew what they were talking about. it was so reassuring, or something, to play something incessantly pretty sounding. i made up a song that i played over and over and now have stuck in my head. i want a dulcimer.
