Ken Kolodner (http://www.kenkolodner.com/) plays an unusual instrument -- part hammered dulcimer, part mbira, in an enchanting performance. The November 17, 2007, concert was sponsored by Shepherdstown Music and Dance (http://smad.us/) and the Upper Potomac Music Weekends (http://www.upperpotomacmusic.info/).
well looks like a regular dulcimer with the sound processed thru some sort of synth processor??

You can also get a hold of Ken Kolodner or Bill Troxler, who own the things. Ken can tell you quite a bit if you email him.

I can't seem to find anywhere that has pictures of how this instrument is built.
There seems to be no website for the inventor, Don MacClane's
Can anyone hook me up with a more instructive URL? thanks, and great performance, too, by the way. I really dug it.

Ken Kolodner. "We're not worthy, we're not worthy," lol. What a fantastic player.
