[lolwhittingham]

[Narnieawow]

Just Beautiful, this song is so sad.

[FriendlyBotanist]

What an excellent interpretation of such a simple melody. I'd love to hear your take on"Go tell aunt Rhody".

How are your strings tuned, what kind of strings are you using, and where is your instrument from?

[HenfieldWill]

I'm using the DD-A-A tuning (the 1st string is doubled up). The instrument was made for me by Dave Sewell, an instrument maker in Baltimore. :-)

[goodlilangel]

dayyuumm this sont sounds so much like Tree of heaven Letter! D:;

[Tsuguayme]

I hear this song was used in that movie.

[dadeedum]

i thought that too!! :(

[sushimaster1]

BRAVO!

[ramsrock85]

Is that how your supposed to play that instrument?

[HenfieldWill]

It's one way. The more traditional way is to use a piece of dowel to fret the strings and pluck them with a goose feather. I prefer to use fingering - and you'll see both styles on YouTube. :-)

[sushimaster1]

yes.

[0ldfinger]

What a beautiful thing. Made my evening!

[2xVitamR]

very good job

[lykndamuzic]

great sound on the dulcimer, what about weissenborns? will we see any videos of you playing one in the future?

[HenfieldWill]

I don't think I have cash (or time) to add one of those to my collection - not yet, at any rate! :-)

[videoforce1]

Hi Will!

Thank you for this excellent Grandfather clock.

It takes special dedication and perseverance to get this level of interpretation.

Best regards

[curbshoppin]

[ericaroane]

Beautiful!!!

[Twirretwarre]

I really enjoy this beatiful folk music. We have a dutch translation too, maybe I will sing it once.

This mountain dulcimer is fantastic.

My grandmother sang this song for me as a child. She was Cajun French and as far as I know it was the only English I ever heard her speak. I was told she could speak it but just refused to do it! Beautiful rendition on a beautiful sounding dulcimer.

[glaoud]

Beautiful sound for this music !*****

[jessyquedens]

You have made something special of a song that's--well--a tired old chestnut. And yes, that dulcimer has a very fine tone.

[dread66mon]

Sweet playing and arrangement!

[dulcajack]

Hey will ,

I really like the look and sound of this dulcimer.

Thanks

Jack

[HenfieldWill]

It's a beaut. The face is English walnut with poplar back and sides, and fretboard & inlay of purple heart wood. Dave Sewell from Baltimore is a great maker. :-) Will

[GreyStrat]

Rather nice

[sandycorgi]

Lovely stuff played on a lovely instrument
