@MrSquidward9 Well, it does work the same basic was as a piano. It's just that the 'hammer' isn't striking the string with nearly the same amount of force, and the string isn't nearly as tough or tense. Beyond that it's actually a very similar concept.
This thing is basically a harpischord where you hit the strings yourself instead of press keys that do it. Awesome instrument.

I love this arrangement. You play well. Is there any way you could create sheet music of this arrangement to share? Or even sell? Or perhaps you could do a youtube video teaching us how to play this song? I keep watching this video to try to learn how to play, but it goes too fast and I am way lost....

It is a 4 octave 3.5 chromatic Concertmaster by Jerry Reed Smith. You can find his website and dulcimers for sale at his website at: SongOfTheWood

@mcomet (for some reason it commented on an old account that I deleted a long time ago)
But anyway... Holy crap, over $2,000? That's a bit expensive.

Yeah I got it used on eBay from a person who was new to HD and thus saved a little money... but the Jerry Reed Smith dulcimers are amazingly nice... this was my 3rd HD... when I started learning I had a 12/11 etc...
