Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Ziricote "Trillium" Dulcimer

A brief look at the Ziricote/Trillium Mountain Dulcimer that I recently completed building for a client in Michigan; followed by a short version of my arrangement of "Somewhere, Over the Rainbow"....

The Ziricote back and sides give this dulcimer a very smooth, deep timbre in the low registers, and the cedar top gives a bit of 'ring' to the highs. Excellent sustain and plenty of volume. This recording was done in one take with only the tiny microphone in the camera capturing the audio.

The 'Trillium Flower' Soundhole Inlay was requested by my client. I enjoyed creating it for her!

Thanks, and Go Well...
