My daughter & I have enjoyed your music since we happened to hear "An Appalachian Aire" in a dulcimer shop (Blowing Rock, NC) in 2005. We LOVE your music! Please consider a You Tube post of my absolute favorite...A Fig For A Kiss. I'm now planning a move to NH & hope to turn the Northeast on to the beauty of your music...
These hammers are made by Sam Rizetta and I like the tone they produce on slower, more lyrical music. I tried 5 pair of these before buying, and this one particular pair seemed "tuned" to my instrument.
Absolutely beautiful, Ruth. Thank you. Have you heard of Peter Elman? He did a song called Durango Saloon and the Dulcimer in it was awesome. Yours though, has to be the most beautiful I've ever heard.
What a lovely tune! I don't know if it's the recording quality or the hammers, but the HD sounds super fine.

Who makes your Hammers? Are they by any chance German Hackbrett Hammers?

Thank you for sharing this lovely and wonderful piece.
Any chance you could tell us how to get in touch with Sam or get a catalogue of his handy work?

The tone of your dulcimer is heart stopping. Jerry really makes good dulcimers.
