We got Dulcimail! Not only that, but two separate messages asking about some of the same things, which I cover in a two-part episode. It doesn't get any more basic than this: stringing up, tuning up and chording up. Starting from strings off through tuning in three different modes and then part two deals with three basic chords and minor music theory.

No cat appearances in this one. Sorry. What can you do? They're cats.
