Ken Kolodner Hammered Dulcimer - NC Breakdown

Common Ground on the Hill's Roots Festival July 2008. Ken plays North Carolina Breakdown.
This is a Nick Blanton dulcimer with dampers, a David Lindsey stand and Dusty Strings hammers.
This is available on one of Ken's many CD's, Journey to the Heartland with Elke Baker and Paddy League.
It is also available on an audio CD teaching CD that Ken does called Fiddle Tunes for the Hammered Dulcimer. If you play, you should pay his website a visit.
You'll find CD's, Tshirts, sound samples, and festivals, concerts, workshops and lessons. He's a busy guy!!

I should mention the Roots Festival is just a two day interval in Common Ground on the Hill's two Traditions Weeks. Whatever acoustic instrument you play, they have a class or three for it! Plus, arts, yoga, peace studies, the whole kit and caboodle. There's wonderful concerts every night and a killer gospel choir you can be in. Here's that website, hope to see you there:

It was windy, so the sound isn't great. I couldn't get his Coleman's March at all, the wind was wrecking havoc with the sound system. At 5 pm a huge thunderstorm broke over Westminster.
