Si Beag Si Mor - Hammered Dulcimer

[AllenDaleBand]

I love the hammer dulcimer!

[MrMiximatosis]

do it without the 1980's cabaret rhythm backing yoke.

[Lamby1015]

I'm learning the hammer dulcimer on a 15/14 and just recently learned this song too! :) It's so pretty and you play it very well! Maybe one day...when I can play without making 100 mistakes, I'll be able to post a video of it too! :) Great job and thanks for sharing!

[cloncondra2]

Tis OK - but could be be produced by a computer - scots gaelic and irish gaelic are the same - slight dialect differences.Nil an gaeilge go mhaith agam ach Is scriibhoir an mhaith Turloch O'Carolan agus is maith an ceol a d'fhag se.

[MrHuismeester]

buitengewone muziek!! erg mooi om te horen en bovendien ook erg ontspannend.

Graag meer van deze prachtige muziek! groeten uit Europa!

[Sarcasticangel05]

[henno147]

Si Beag Sí mor means big fairies little fairies In Irish!  thanks for this :)

[Pawnbroker00]

@henno147 nope, means big fairies small fairies

[henno147]

@Pawnbroker00  same thing XD

[henno147]

@Pawnbroker00 same thing XD , well yeah other way around XD , sry for my mistake ^.^

[Pawnbroker00]

@henno147 Yes i know it is the other way round.. gaelic languages have reversed order on that sort of thing.. like bhaga-sgoil instead of school-bag etc etc, i am a scottish gaelic speaker so excuse me if that is not interpretable to irish gaelic people

[henno147]

@Pawnbroker00 haha wow ! scotts gaelic is beautful , in Irish school bag is mala scoile , its amazing the similarities and differences , merry x mas / nollaig shona duit! ;)

[Pawnbroker00]

@henno147 nollag chridheal dhut :D

i told a lie, i am learning scottish gaelic :P

[henno147]

@Pawnbroker00 not a lie :) , your still a speaker :D

[rainharper62]

nice to the ears!! Thank you!

[wisnaemeinCoventry]

absolutely lovely.

...more please.

[cathyallenful]

What kind of dulcimer do you have?

[lakenewell]

An inspirational playing of an O'Carolan piece. My husband especially loves the hammered dulcimer. We went to Evart, Michigan, to the Hammered Dulcimer Festival and bought a couple and took lessons for about 6 mo, but it is so difficult to learn. We will try to take your beautiful playing as motivation to try again. We had such a hard time trying to notate what to play. Our teacher wanted us to just do it by ear. Any hint on learning to play? Thanks for sharing your beautiful music

[DPAGENT]

Great job Sign543! This music really is soothing. Hard to find in mp3 form. Can you tell me where I could find more other then youtube?

[MrHoopy1967]

I listen to this every day. Greetings from Co Antrim

[jillymn]

Beautifully done!! I love listening to you play!

[sonomabob]

21,000 views! You are the man.

Well done.

[sign543]

@sonomabob LOL, thank you! :)

[DerangedFather]

@sonomabob It just means they are looking at it, doesn' mean they like it lol but I do

[Jenxxie]

Very nice version of a great O'Carolan favorite. Lovely ! well done indeed.

[StopTheMoti0n]

guitar strumming in backround?

[alkhulaifi1975]

that was awesome ^_^

thank you .

[LoMagick]

Love it. How long have you been playing? Thinking of picking up the hammered dulcimer myself.

[Ragdollcatman001]

Again, lovely :) Please post up more!

[Russischespionin]

Who's playing in the background? Why didn't you show them too?

[ramron333]

definitely the best version of this

[hisrosebudlips]

That is truly a beautiful piece of music, you play so nice. Hope to see more of your music on here.

Hugz from Canada

[sign543]

Hugs back at you...and thank you. I want to move to Canada. :)

[janster200]

This is even prettier than Magical Strings' version!

[donnahill1026]

Wow...very nice!

[baggie00001]

Have to say that was truly beautiful music. I love this tune but your piece is by far the best i have found on Youtube.

Please post more tunes.

[kate94703]

Beautiful music and lovely playing. Thanks for the sharing of it.

[sign543]

Thank you!!

[princeaferd]

Very nice, where did you find the arrangement with the embellishments?

[sign543]

I made that backing track myself. :)

[pyramiaou]

This is so beautiful. Why don't you play your dulcimer more now???

[FanOfZipster]

OOOOH Tony, I thought the best version of this ever was Douglas Gunn's ensemble doing it on recorders. But yours is even better!!!!!

I LOVE THIS. Please play your dulcimer some more, PLEASE PLEASE!!

"A damsel with a dulcimer in a vison once I saw..." well not exactly a damsel but certainly a VISION.

Thanks for sharing!

[mmasny]

Do you have that Gunn's version? Maybe you could share it?

[3rdconfederate]

You got that good in two years? Pretty awesome! Was this a medieval instrument? I see a lot of them at SCA events.

[russell56443]

Still checking out your site,Im just amazed!!!!

[fulsomstryk]

If it would have been in d instead of G, I could have played along with my tin whistle! :-) I can a little now also. Great video BTW!

[HecateDancing]

Wonderful...Thank You

[cmoorecole]

Your music brings back some sweet memories

[littlejinkz]

Fab Sign xx

[sign543]

THANK YOU!!

[wildbrain03]

Wonderful!

[lolaknows]

Wow, so beautiful.

[electriqueyelloe]

Dude this is fantastic. Love the trills too

[sign543]

Oh, the trills are my fav! Thank you!!

[GlennMorganFan]

That was wonderful!!!

The first time I heard that song played on a Hammered Dulcimer it was by a local musician and I can say it has become my absolute favorite song of all time.

I hope you post lots more videos in the future.

[sign543]

THANK YOU!!

[trillian57]

Beautiful!!!!

[sarrycrey]

ohhh I love this one too! how long have you been playing?

[sign543]

Hmm. About two years?? I love it so much. :)

[blakranger51]

Sounds Great!

I can't seem to get this one on my fiddle, dunno why. Probably getting it confused with another tune. :'-(

[creamofcardstv]

Your video clip is great and I've rated it as awesome. Please check out mine on some 1920's trading cards of musical instruments, including the Dulcimer.

[samsma9]

I've enjoyed watching this video. I'm getting a hammered dulcimer and Band in the box for Xmas. How did you lay in the background music for this song?

[sign543]

Thank you! For this video, I recorded the backup to a CD then played it on a stereo...for the recording, I just played on top of the track. What kind of hammered dulcimer are you getting?

[IndigoRain11]

Awesome job! This is my favorite song to fiddle...but the violin is the only instrument I can play it on

[mallorylafler37]

you people are nuts!!! this is cool and all but... what?! what in the world are you talking about?! p.s. cool, you're awesome!!!

[sign543]

What do you mean?

[mallorylafler37]

you're talking technical terms here Tony!!! I read the comments, and now my mind is all jumbled!!! nvm I'm just a little crazy... yes I said it, cuz I am! whatever ttyl

[dmgermano1]

Nice job. Do you do your own backup tracks?

Donna

[sign543]

Yes, I use a combination of band-in-the-box and Acid Pro for mixing and sequencing. For hammered dulcimer music, it's hard to come up with backups that sound...right. But, it's still a lot of fun. I watched your butterfly vid again last night. I wish I had your vid editing resources. I so enjoy your imagery. :)

[Simmian7]

hey! it's Tony! take off the disguise man! oh and nice song!
