The Brandywine Dulcimer Fellowship (BDF) was founded in 1980 to provide mountain and hammered dulcimer players in the greater Wilmington, Delaware area with an informal venue for musical jams, focusing on old-time, folk, and Celtic music . The group has held its monthly first-Friday evening meetings in a variety of locations, from private homes to local churches. For many years, our meeting place has been Grace Lutheran Church in Hockessin, DE. All acoustic instruments and singing voices are welcome: in addition to dulcimers, we have hosted players of guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, ukulele, and flute, to name a few. From time to time, BDF has sponsored workshops and concerts by prominent members of the dulcimer community.
