For Jon Meyer -- This is just a guess, but I would think you would do just fine wih a hammered dulcimer. I remember reading once about an artist whose tremors stopped when she was painting. What have you got to lose. Try it; might be very relaxing and rewarding. I don't think they have "midi" dulcimers or you could send us a sample after you learn. :-) (But send us a report anyway, OK?)
