An Irish traditional song called Jock Stewart Steward or Stuart also called A Man You Don't Meet Every Day, played on a homemade plywood Appalachian mountain dulcimer with a pickup tuned to EAE.
It's playing like that gives great inspiration to aspiring players. Very melodious and executed like a pro. Found Pogues reference interesting...had to go check my CD's.
Great song and playing.Always loved it.My favourite recorded version was by the Pogues,Shane McGowan in a duet with Kirsty MacColl...something about plywood,cardboard and birch(I'm sure there are other cheap woods I'm not aware of)..I recently bought a 1920's no name tenor guitar made of birch...not much sustain but does it ever honk!Many of the American made Kay,Stella and Harmony guitars had the same quality.

This is so beautiful. Such a lovely dulcimer, you should be very proud of it. And wonderful playing!
I sure appreciate your playing Nate. Looks and sounds like you built yourself a dandy instrument.
Very nice. Great job!
Nate, this is lovely-- your play and the sound of your build.
