Guy, I see you have added a lot of new videos on YouTube, and this teardrop seems to be your dulcimer of choice these days. It's a beauty! Do you have it amped the same way as your Ewings in previous videos (e.g., Wayfaring Stranger?). The combination of this instrument and your beautiful arrangements and playing makes for stunning videos! This one is just lovely, as are they all!

@songbirdnm Yes, that is my new baby. She is an Aeolus dulcimer made of rosewood with a spruce soundboard. Dale Foye is a master luthier and his instruments are without parallel. I still love my other dulcimers, but since I'm not playing them as much I will probably be selling at least a couple of them so they can have good homes.

Yes, I am using the same recording set up. I have to uprgrade and fix my equipment a bit though. Nothing too fancy, just a mic, a and a mixer.

Very lovely! The melody in and of itself is lovely and then it sounds very pretty on the dulcimer.  It is a good instrument to highlight the melody. Very enjoyable video!
