Hi Ariane.  Thank you so much for your kind comments. :)  Would love to hear your band's version if you could direct me to it?

Your playing is superb and the sound of your dulcimer is delightful - it is a joy to hear and see you play.

We had this tune in our band´s repertoire and I loved to play it with the whistle and hammered dulcimer accompanying our vocalist.

Thank you Marcia!  I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Beautiful Brian!! One of my favorite songs on my list to learn to play! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Guy!

SO beautiful!

Thank you Benjamin!

Beautifully played.

Thanks so much Monica!

What a beautiful sounding dulcimer and lovely playing.

Thank you Bob. Yes, the dulcimer has a false bottom separated from the actual bottom by those little ebony "feet".  The idea is that this allows that false bottom to vibrate freely without being damped by my lap.

Beautiful tune, and well played. Does the dulcimer have a "second" bottom?

Thank you very much Bj!  :)

Beautifully played, well done. One of my favorite tunes. The dulcimer sounds awesome.

John and Mary - thank you so much for your kind words.  I'm glad you enjoyed it.  Mary - I'm about 40 minutes southwest of Madison.  :)

Thanks for sharing. Beautiful dulcimer matched with beautiful music.

Thank you Steven!

Wonderfully played, beautiful dulcimer!

Thank you so much Robin and Paula! I appreciate you taking the time to comment, and I'm glad you enjoyed the tune.  And Paula - I''ll work on improving Mango's pitch! (he's my sun conure you're hearing in the video.)  :)

Gorgeous sound and pretty to look at it... I have always loved this song... on my list to learn... tell your bird he needs to sing in the correct key!  smiling as I have parrots!
