I tried this song in four keys just to see which one I liked the best. Played a somewhat navel-gazing pace. DAd tuned and 100% tab-free. I'll work on a better arrangement, probably in Dm. I definitely got carried away with the video effects on this one.

  • I think there should be a YouTube rule requiring that all mountain dulcimer videos disclose the identity of of the dulcimer's builder, the woods used, the date it was completed and its social status within the family of dulcimers owned by the player. Lacking such a rule ... could you comply anyway?

  • @milnoid Sure! This dulcimer is by Ed Weiss of Ft. Wright, KY. He worked backwards; started with the case and built an instrument to fit. The soundboard is maple, with natural knotholes for soundholes. Everything else is walnut. Ed wanted a full sound from a 3/4 size travel instrument, and I think he did well. I travel for work, and play this one on the road. My full size baritone is nice, but it stays home, and so doesn't get played nearly as much.

  • I like the Dm, but the Bm is good too. Looking forward to the "final" version.
