Fisher's Hornpipe

Here's Fisher's Hornpipe flatpicked on the Mountain Dulcimer. You hear it played sometimes almost like a reel, but this is with that hornpipe bounce. It's actually got 3 parts...I only found that out when I went on search for the music. Best I can determine it is accredited to the 1920's era fiddle playing of Eck Robertson. Well, except the fancy little lick I do the first time through the C part...my bluegrass influences made me put a 2 to 5 chord run there. Sorry Ireland. Don't know why you don't hear it around...I really like the 3rd part.

Man, that is a beautiful dulcimer, ive never seen one made like that, sounds great too.

Thanks...This dulcimer design represents about 30 years of my life experimenting and tweaking. I've been building it for about 10 years.  It's a Gallier Starsong. Thanks much for your comment.

I'm loving this!!

Wow. You play with the bounce of a good fiddle or mandolin. Great job!  I don't think I ever heard that third part to the song, but I agree it adds a lot.

Thanks for posting.
