Click Old Hen (AAC Dulcimer Tuning)


musician/member name: Music
Duration: 00:02:09
description:
I finally learned how to play the melody of Cluck Old Hen on my Mountain Dulcimer. It required AAC tuning with the C being the melody string. This particular dulcimer was given to me by Stephen Kenny. I've tuned it in various A tunings (AEA, AAA bagpipe tuning, and now AAC tuning). The tone and resonance are wonderful.

Key of A Modal

Instruments used:
Mountain Dulcimer tuned in AAC (melody + ornamental picking)
Bodhran, Metal Rhythm Bones, Wood Rhythm Bones
(G) Harmonica played in cross harp for A
Shruti Box in A+E
Layered Vocals

Thank you for the stunning visuals:

Thank you. The minor tuning suits the dulcimer, I think.
