Eric's Second Hammered Dulcimer Original (for now)

Here's a new song I didn't expect to stumble upon at midnight. I was trying to pick out the melody to the Celtic Women's "Dulaman" when I accidentally started to play this and went with it. This isn't the greatest video and five minutes before I started recording, I'd never played this before, so sorry for the mistakes and poor sound quality. I wanted to record it before I forgot it later.

WOW! That is mesmerizing. You make it look easy but that has GOT to be difficult. Thanks. I chanced upon your video while I was looking for the music to 'Dulaman' for the tin whistle.

Thanks for your compliments! Do you play the tin whistle? I am planning on posting some videos of my penny whistles soon, but I am waiting to have a friend help me record it in our chapel where the acoustics are absolutely amazing for the whistle.

Very Beautiful. How long have you been playing? That is a very nice masterworks dulcimer you have. I am waiting on my Cloud Nine 20/19/8 to be completed. It should be done in late January and I will post videos as soon as it arrives.

Thank you very much for the nice compliments. I have been playing for 4 years as of this Christmas. I started off on a Rick Thum 13/12 Meadowlark. I will be excited to see your new dulcimer, I'm assuming with the extra strings and bridges, it will have an extended bass range? I wanted that so I took my three chromatic notes on my Mater Works and tuned them down to C, A, and G below my lowest D.

Spellbinding! I've been contemplating whether or not to buy a hammered dulcimer, and this video made me want one 100%. lol

Well, not like I'd imagine you do. I like to play because the fingerings are much like the saxophone which I enjoyed playing as a kid and it is my only creative outlet. I am looking forward to your next video.

One of the best things about this instrument is that you get these enormous chords that turns heads.
