Troubled Voices (four dulcimers)

I'd promised to re-record this, but circumstances are such that it won't happen for awhile at least. One can barely hear the harmonic resonance that is supposed to be at the heart of this composition. My tempo is also crippled by lack of sleep, and I miss some chords toward the end as my left hand tires. Anyway, sorry about the all the sloppiness.

The dulcimers: The main instrument is Ben Seymour's "split fretboard," fretted like an épinette des Vosges. At centre is Prussia Valley Box. Behind that is a Blue Lion baritone. At right is an all-walnut soprano, perhaps made by Paul Pyle. On the stand at rear is a 1962 AW Jeffreys.
