EnglishHow to Subscribe or Renew a Subscription to Dulcimer Players News
Updated
To subscribe or renew, go to dpnews.com/subscribe (the site's "Subscribe & Renew Here!" link). New subscriptions start with the latest issue while supplies last, and renewals made by the stated deadline are mailed with that issue's regular mailing. Between issues, orders are processed every 7–14 days, and magazines usually arrive within about a week of being mailed.
Start a new subscription
- Open https://www.dpnews.com/subscribe.
- Complete the subscription order there. If you have questions about subscription types before ordering, check https://www.dpnews.com/subscription-types-and-faq.
- Expect your first issue to be the latest issue, as long as extra copies remain. The site states that new subscriptions begin with the latest issue while supplies last.
Timing note: DPN is a quarterly print magazine. The site's July 31, 2026 update says the August issue was behind schedule at the printers, and that printing takes about 7–10 days before mailing, with postal delivery varying from a few days to a couple of weeks. If an issue hasn't arrived by the second week of the following month (September, in that example), contact the editorial assistant.
Renew an existing subscription
- Use the same Subscribe & Renew Here! link at dpnews.com/subscribe.
- Renew by the deadline given in the current update to be included in that issue's mailing. In the July 31, 2026 update, the cutoff was August 7 to have the August issue mailed with all the others.
- If your subscription had lapsed before the mailing list went to the printers, the site says you'll be restarted with the latest issue.
