For Ireland I'd Not Tell Her Name on Mountain Dulcimer


musician/member name: Music
Duration: 00:02:44
description:
144 days since I began my quest to learn the mountain dulcimer
This is part of my video progress journal
This is a traditional Irish slow Air arranged by Meridith Rhindress for the Dulcimer Association of Albany of which I'm now a proud member!
This is a basic version and I aspire to learn the more complicated one that Linda Brockington arranged for the same group.
Think you for watching
I plugged the dulcimer into my Roland JD-Xi synth and utilized the onboard fx.

I was going to ask about your dulcimer, it has such a beautiful sound. Your playing, the song, everything was beautiful. 

Oh thanks so much Marg

It's a McSpadden Standard (it has the long VSL but I was a little green when I ordered it however it does have a lovely sound that I've come to realize is worth the "extra stretching of my small hands!!" (I actually play guitar so I think that helped with the stretch quite a bit!) and thanks I plugged it into the back of the synth and when I play it I can use the delay and reverb on the dulcimer.

Jim Woods was so accommodating to me as I told him how special it was to me and wanted it to reflect my mom's colorful personality. I asked for the largest grain rosewood and he really delivered and even the walnut has this cool light streak on the sides!!

Again, Thanks so much

Maria

Steven Berger:

Very nice! I'm enjoying your progress. Kind of a long drive from Suffern to Albany as I recall.

Thanks I'm glad you liked it! And yes it's about a 2 hour drive. I went to the festival and then joined the club.  I can't make the monthly meetings but I now get the monthly newsletter which has two pieces of music tabbed out.

take care

I played and recorded this the same day that I did my original synth improvisation so I kept the dulcimer plugged into my synth utilizing the onboard fx (reverb and delay)

 

Thanks so much for watching.
