[broknsaint]

This is so awesome. damn now I want a dulcimer.

Thanks for sharing!

[dread66mon]

That happens to people when they hear the instrument. : ) I hope you pick one up. If you do, I sell Folkcraft Instruments, which are excellent and inexpensive.

[broknsaint]

Do you have a site where i can look into them? =)

[CityofDreadfulDelite]

I've only recently discovered the amazing dulcimer... and how fortunate I've been to have had my earliest exposure be to the most exquisitely-talented performers of the instrument.

Quite simply, BRILLIANT.

Thanks for sharing so generously.

[dread66mon]

You are too kind - thank you. Are you playing now, or still sort of checking out the instrument?

[CityofDreadfulDelite]

I'm still quite new to the dulcimer, but I'm actively practicing each day with the assist of an experienced teacher twice weekly. Your casts/videos were my inspiration. I'm having the time of my life... Thanks so much!

[dread66mon]

Thanks for watching - hammered dulcimers are very cool - I play AT them, but not very well. : )

[GlobellePrize]

This song makes me want to put on a long flowing skirt and run through grassy knolls.

[dread66mon]

Right on!

[smokybrick]

Wow, that sounded really nice :)

[dread66mon]

[TheLostMedici]

[dread66mon]

We are all noobs in some way - it keeps us united and on the same level playing field!

[Dulcimerist]

Sweet song! Do you know Road to Carlow?

[dread66mon]

I don't - but I'm going to look at my lead sheet sites and see if I can't track down at least the melody and chords. Thanks for watching!

[TheLostMedici]

Yes, please post the tuning.

[Dulcimerist]

In the description, the tuning is DAdd with a capo on the first fret. ;)

[dread66mon]

What he said. : )

[quintank]

Wow, I haven't seen Steve in a few years. He looks great and plays great!

Excellent sound, you two.

The Mighty Quinn

[dread66mon]

Thanks, Q - Steve's a madman. He'll be staying here again next week - I think we'll aim for some blues then. There's some more Irish tune-age coming o'er the weekend.

[prosepp]

Thats a very wonderful perfromance again

Gratulations !!!

[dread66mon]

Thank you, so much!

[brotherbleu]

Wow, I love the way Steve does his little Triplet/Pull off/ Hammer On deal. It gives it a real Irish feel. Almost like a penny Whistle or Bagpipes. Good job both of you guys.

The Dulcimer Ninja!

[dread66mon]

Now I can't imagine playing this piece without those grace notes, so I've been working them in. Thanks for watching!

[MDMstudio]

Thats a awsome rendition of The Road To Lisdoonvarna, what tuning are you guys? Keep Strumming!

[dread66mon]

Thanks! That's dd-A-D, capo 1st fret.
