Hammered Dulcimer Orchestra

[gsjbaldwin]

Beautiful music. Even better if you shut up the kids

[Tanker226]

Oh my god. This is so beautiful. Why don't more people do this!?

[wrenchontheroad]

The girl touching her ear on the far right looks SOOO bored. Hahahaha.

[pele6922]

@wrenchontheroad she accidently Super Glued her hand to her ear...tragic

[Peilai2]

Dizzi, I might do that Master of Puppet thing. Just got a good recording tool finally.

[TheRunescapfan]

[amandamr19mr]

Amazing strings....

[oweioweh]

[Estaphis]

Very Enchanting :3

[miradanomade]

[laellagos]

Amazing how you taught them to play this wonderful piece in 1 hour! Well done Dizzi! (and the people in your workshop, of course)

[kitsuneateagreeley]

that's awesome!!!

[davebrdshw]

wow i never knew people still make music like this. i listen to it for first time today. you r amazing.

[PokemonNerrd]

My mum just got me a hammered dulcimer for my birthday:)

Now i've got to tune it!

By the way, that was great;D

[ensignlynch]

its good

[MrChumusic]

muito bonito!! parabés, BRASIL

[bubaylei]

dizzi you so cool! This was really neat, and the sound of so many together was wonderful!

[cpnblackcock]

next time, tell your "orchestrator" to stop counting and not ruin the song.

[Saphira4Christ]

i would love to learn how to play that!, I'm already hoping to get an Irish flute and tin whistle... but maybe i should learn how to play the dulcimer after i learn those. :D

[smeagolTG]

They are really amazing! :) You are fantastic!

[widowmaker2112]

Sweet babes and sweet sounding strings.

[jussymucky]

This is beautiful

[Peilai2]

Hmm, dulcimer orchesta. I like the idea. Need to get the union and find enough cats up here to create one. I am just a metal dulcimer player (electric dulicmer played amped through VOX, distortion, tremelo, and effect pedals.) Master of Puppets is one of my key songs as well as a ripping version of some celtic stuff, using a loop pedal. Play on.

[dizzid11]

Hi Peilai2,

Have you any films of you 'metal' dulcimer playing. I too use a loop station, wah wah etc all through Marshall As100. What pick-ups do you use? I use Schatten, made in Canada. Check out my 'electric dulcimer' film. Best Wishes Dizzi x

[segafr33k]

@Peilai2

Hey, can you please record "Master of Puppets"? Would be awesome to hear it on the electric Dulcimer.

[captainkane1984]

THIS IS COOL! I am building my own dulcimer next weekend, gonna teach my high school kids to play it.

Keep raising the song!

[kanikinho]

muito bonito ,mesmo, parabens.

[paganspixie]

woo!!

[datfri13]

I would have loved to have been there playing a huge bass dulcimer and filling in the low part

[korgri]

There is a bass dulcimer? I had an idea to build two (both rotated 18 degrees) and put them next to each other and tune the second one to fill in the missing ranges, give them the

versatility of the piano.

[datfri13]

In my imagination (and in a perfect world ) there is--I don't know if anybody has ever made one though...

You might be interested in Ekim Beau and his "crossbeau zither" it's plucked, not hammered but is large enough to have a wide range like a piano. You can find him on youtube or in person in Helen, Goergia.

[dizzid11]

I play a bass dulcimer in my 'electric dulcimer' film, check it out Dizzi x

[adepated]

I have to be completely honest. At first, I had a hard time taking dizzi seriously. But after watching this, and the other songs, I LOVE IT!

[nomedmon]

damn hippies sounds great way kool

[AlexanderPearl]

Dizzi, you are absolutely perfect! :D Keep doing what you do best.

[Phyle9]

"Perfection DOES exist after all!" was exactly what i thought when i first saw Dizzi play!

♥♥♥♥♥

[djtimelord]

More dulcimers, more sweet the sound will be! is just charming that sound and Dizzy leading!

[pentica]

what would a general cost range be for your most basic instrument?. nothing really amazingly fancy just great for starting out with.

[zakeze11]

£165 is the cheapest I sell, It comes with bag, book, hammers, tuning lever and mini stand and is available on my website dizzi co uk XXX

[pentica]

that is really reasonable :D, it would be making a trip to western Canada if i do purchase,

[VilliVanilli]

How come this instrument isn't as popular as the guitar?? The sound just goes straight to the heart. Keep it up you guys. If you continue like this, one day you'll play for kings and queens :0)

[WindUpVideos]

i know! as soon as i get the spare cash, i'm buying one of these!

i guess maybe people just look at it and say "wow great sound, but looks too complicated" or "i'd much rather stick to the beaten track"

people are so boring nowadays, aren't they?

[joesimonetti]

What is the name of this song? This is wonderful!

[laurariddle292]

Dizzy, do you ship to the US?

[dizzid11]

Hi yes I will ship anywhere in the world

[dizzid11]

[rantandrave100]

Wonderful instrument. Relaxing.

[LUNCHBOX762X39]

[theangelsofmercy]

[Kawaiinekomi]

This is beautiful! Where can I buy a Dulcimer?

[peacemtn]

Great work.

[apostel13]

i believe you need a lot of talent to get all these people to understand this wonderful instrument in just one hour!

this is absolutely amazing... i'm one step closer to buy one now...

[Debbyturner]

Congratulations on this fantastic performance!

You're teaching the kids something so valuable. (making music together)

I respect and thank you for this,

Debby

[bradljr0046]

the part about 3 mins in tho was perfect

best contrast

[bradljr0046]

u need mor contrast

i teach an actual orchestra

one thing i see it that it seems like most of u r playing relitivly the same thing

u need to write a bass line

others its great

i luv dulcimers

[dizzid11]

These guys only had one hour to learn this song and they had never played the instrument before. I do agree if we had more time i would add lots more to this song. Please check out the video Cosmic Sister for a fuller version.

Thanks and best wishes Dizzi x

[bradljr0046]

they never even played the dulcimer

now thats talent

thats great for what lil time u had

[hirotakaoz]

It' so great.how many students do you have?

nice ensemble of dulcimer!

from Hiro in JPN

[dizzid11]

Hi Hiro

I run a club with 22 students regularly. I also run an after school club and visit various schools in my area. This film is at a music festival where I set up my equipment and run daily workshops for festival goers. I also run workshops for up to 30 people for corporate events.

If you can find me a workshop to run in Japan that pays my traveling expenses I would love to come there :)

Thanks dizzi x

[littlejinkz]

Lovely...so convince me...how complicated is this to learn. I'm very tempted but...I love the hang drum too. Decisions LOL

[dizzid11]

Hackbrett forever!!!!!! long live the Dulcimer!!!!!!

[tinkerbelly22]

Dizzi- love your stuff! What's the name of this tune? Also, any plans to come to the USA anytime soon? There are quite a few folk music festivals that I'm sure would love to have you!

[dizzid11]

This tune is called cosmic sister there is another advanced version of it on my youtube channel playing it as a duo with my sister.

I would love to come to america but i am so busy i would have to book loads of gigs to make it worth the journey. XXXX
