Amazing Street Performer playing the Hammered Dulcimer

[gray1753]

I love the microtonality -- was that intentional?

This is like Bill Evans. Beautiful playing. What an amazing musician. Thanks, Tom Sands, for all your hard, heartfelt work to play so well. And thank you, TG716, for taking the time to make and share this video. There's something about the hammered dulcimer that is really magical... when it's played well, it never fails to elicit emotion.

Love those diminished minor chords- very impressive and fresh style for the dulcimer. Normally I hear lots of celtic and traditional folk style- enjoyed it a lot.

I love playing the dulcimer..

my personal opinion is that the hammered dulcimer is the best and best sounding musical instrument ever invented.

You can't read the description? and you can't even use an apostrophe?

That is very interesting that he holds the hammers between his pointer and middle finger, I've never seen it done that way. More commonly it is held between the pointer finder and the thumb. Does any one know what tuning this dulcimer is in?

[ryguyrocker]

[TG716]

Nope, I took this video myself. This is actual speed.

[joeyrowe23]
