Robin Bullock Ken Kolodner: Border Crossing/ Panhandle/ Cuckoo's Nest

At a private concert in Hillsborough NC, Robin and Ken play two of Ken's tunes, the Border Crossing and the Panhandle, and the Irish Cuckoo's Nest.
Robin's cittern was a bit strong on this video because of the direction of the amps, but I think it still sounds good. :) The hammered dulcimer Ken plays is a Nick Blanton with dampers.

for CD's. This set is on Ken's Walking Stones CD, available at Ken's website. Ken (in Baltimore MD) teaches HD, old time fiddle and gives workshops and concerts. DO NOT MISS these two at the December Helicon concert at Goucher College. With Chris Norman's flute these tunes have a whole other dimension that's just unbelievable.
What's that instrument Robin is playing? He'd say cittern I think, but here's an interesting dissertation on similar instruments himself wrote for Acoustic Musician Magazine:
