Dulcimer: Hangman's Reel

Traditional French-Canada tune - well-passed in the US old-time repertoire.

Dulcimer tuned Aaa - probably higher in pitch here.

Haiku...Do you know the story or any of the lyrics to the song? Nice dulcimer and nice performance of the song. Interesting, I've heard of DDD but not AAA. I also visited your myspace website and you have some excellent tunes playing on that site also.

Thanks :)

Thanks Dave!

I don't think I've ever heard any lyrics for this tune, apart from a floating "Dang Dang....Set Me Free" on the C part. And I'm afraid I don't know any story to go with it...

I tend to keep my dulcimer in DAA or Ddd - but since this is a A tune, I wanted to try it this way (and I'm not found of "reverse tunings", such as Eaa)

Cheers!

Super! C'est un trad ? ou c'est de toi ?

Tu as essayé de le transposer et de jouer avec d'autre bourdons ?

A+

Merci!

Yep, traditionnel (du coté du Canada Francais à l'origine je crois, et commun dans l'Old-Time US)

Là je le joue en La (tonalité traditionnelle), mais il sonne bien aussi en Ré (en DAd, même doigté du coup mais avec 2 bourdons, ou en DAA)
