Hi Jack.Good to hear you playing on your latest creation.The scheitholt you built for me is the most beautiful instrument I've ever played and I have played many.
Thanks Ken. I use little to no effects on the amplifier. It is used mainly for volume, and to provide a deeper tone. My videos usually provide a song without electric followed by the same song with electric. The additional volume and deeper tone do resemble an organ, or harpsichord.
Thanks for sharing this Jack. I agree with Lisa that it has a harpsichord like sound. Is that a function of the amplifier you are using or does the dulcimer actually sound like that when not plugged in? It's a beautiful sound.
Thanks Lisa. Simple Gifts, and Church Hymns, are my favorite dulcimer songs because I can imitate the organ I heard as a child. Here is a short clip on Simple Gifts on one of my 8-string Scheitholts.
Jack, i really like this. When you strum the full 'chords' on this electric it actually reminds me of the sound of a harpsichord... which is a fitting pairing with the traditional Shaker hymn tune. Nice!

Great added videos to show the differing effects, Jack. Thanks!
This video adds some reverb and delay to resemble an organ, or harpsichord. Farther Along .
