That's GORGEOUS!  Holy cow!

[dulcimerginny]

I really enjoyed your playing. I put my mountain dulcimer away for awhile, and your playing has motivated me to get it out, again. Hard to find dulcimer players in the Seattle area. Thank you very much, and Merry Christmas. Ginny

I have loved dulcimer music from the first time I heard it. Unfortunately I have no musical talent but appropriation. Have you made as CD and if not do you know of one?

[Dulcimerist]

Very nice! Thanks for posting this!

Is that an MXL brand USB mic?

[dulcajack]

Thank you. I am using a Samson CO1U USB condenser mic. I have had great luck with it so far.

Thanks Again

Jack

[jostilley]

I would like to be able to take a closer look at your instruments. Did you make it yourself, and how can you make it reverberate so much? Thank you!

[dulcajack]

Jostilly,

There are many factors that affect the resonance of my dulcimers. Yes I build these. There is a link to my website on my you tube channel page. Part of the reason for the sustain in the case of this video is that. I am using an audio editing program to add the reverb effect. I add the effect after I record it. My other videos have no digital enhancements. Your welcome and thank you for asking.

Take care

Jack

[dread66mon]

Nice job, Jack! This is one of my fave Christmas tunes (and working on an arrangement myself...)

[dulcajack]

Thanks Bing,

I appreciate you taking the time to encourage all of us newbie's. I know you are busy. I have been watching your schedule. Id like to come see you play someday.

Thanks again

Jack .

[dulcajack]

Hey Deb, It didn't dbl post. Thank you for stopping by and commenting. You are right. This is a very old song. I did a search on it before I posted it. It was written By Adolf Adams sometime between 1803 and 1856. I wasn,t able to find the exact date. You are very welcome. Thank You and Merry (early) Christmas.

Jack

[dulciPD]

MDMSudio sent me over. Great job. Really like your arrangement and playing of this song.

[dulcajack]

Hey Dave,

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and thanks to MD for referring you. Thank you for the positive comment.

Merry Christmas,

Thanks Again,

Jack

[MDMstudio]

Very very nice! Love what you have done with the song

[dulcajack]

Thank you MD. Coming from a great Dulcimer player like you I take that as a real compliment. When ever you start touring you got to make sure I get a ticket if you come through Texas.

Thanks :) :)

Jack
