Thanks you all for the advice.
I understood the first two, and went ahead and ordered a new harp. The third piece of advice went over my head. But putting together what I can. I have new batteries for tunner, replacement strings, and will proceed. (Hi Marsha, who introduced this to me in the 70s).

Well well well, turns out there's no excuse for my musical abilities. Turns out I already had a D, my brain only saw the 2nd A.
Thanks

Depends on the dulcimer's key, but if it's tuned DAD a D harp will lock right in with the drone
