That is a very complex arrangement. I do not play a chromatic and can only appreciate that you do, and set yourself quite a challenge with this piece. 🎶 I still have your version of “Mary, did you know” saved and have enjoyed it repeatedly! There is something about the sound quality, the key, and the particular dulcimer that is gorgeous to my ears. 💜

sweet job

NGL, I kind of outgrew my “Metal uber alles” phase in my very early twenties, and I’m 61 now, but I still love an eclectic approach to music and a genre bending fusion approach to orchestration, rhythm, and themes. Bravo!

I am your 1kth subscriber! This was awesome, love this now I just have to find the tabs for this! Awesome job!

I've just started to learn how to play. Hope one day to reach your level...then I'll be happy. Thanks.

Looks and sounds great... Love your playing style..

That dulcimer has a rich sound.

Birdseye maple for headstock for sure.

He makes some beautiful dulcimers. I have one of his Chromatic dulcimer.

Play" there's a little zither in the leaf bag"😉😉🩷😄

Play " there's a zither in ma driveway,"

Can you play " there's a little zither in my driveway"??🎇🎇💰💰

You could not use black glue in the Appalachian and why not?

Wow! I like the sound of that. I have a baritone ukulele and it sounds so much nicer to me than the standard uks. I didn't realize they made baritone dulcimers. Thanks for sharing. Your playing is wonderful.

What is the title of that first song you played? i would love to learn that tune

keep up the good work! I myself didnt hear any mistakes, instead i loved it! Im very fascinated with ducimers, the baritone dulcimer is my favorite.

Looks like a koa top with maybe birds eye maple for the peg head.

Try a TK Obrien, they sound good also

Have you been to Townsend TN ? the shop there is great

My ignorance but what makes this a baritone dulcimer? Tuning? Love the sound of this one!

Curious, what make dulcimer?

I play this song on the Irish whistle (tinwhistle, pennywhistle, feadog, flageolet, whatever). Your rendition is really nice. I love that dulcimer! Have you ever played a phin? That's a Thai instrument that is basically a sort of dulcimer that you play upright like a guitar. They generally have a big dragon or bird for a headstock. They aren't dreadfully expensive and they're lotsa fun - try one!🎶

Sounds great. I just got one with the same woods one he made back in 1998. He had it on his table at Dulcimer U this year. Has an old man’s face carved into the head. The first time I strummed it I knew I had to have it.

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you.

The sound is great, I love it.

I just started playing that was really cool

Better than I could do!

What songs are you playing? Or just winging it!

Wow, that’s beautiful. This dulcimer has a bit of a harpsichord sound to it. What’s the scale length?

Just beautiful, Kevin. 💜

Beautiful!

If you’re hoping to hear it played…. You’ll be disappointed. Play the fucker nerd boy!

A beautiful and unique piese of art! I've not seen a 'false bottom' before (if that is what you called it). Are those sound holes at the bottom as well?

That was simply beautiful. Mistakes and all. So human and solemn. Bravo! ❤

Nicely done!

Do you have a tab for this? Very nice!

Is that a dulcimette?

simply beautiful. thank you

This arrangement sounds like it would be better suited for fingerpicking than using a plectrum.

I was looking for some music with dulcimers and found this channel a couple hours ago, have heard several songs and they are just so good. Keep up the good work!

IT'S OUT OF TUNE!!!!

Wow! That looks and sounds amazing!

Just beautiful! Thank you for sharing this video and your music ‼️👏👏

great job Kevin.

So beautifully played. Thank you.❤

Is there a Tab for this?

This is awesome! I love hearing more dulcimer music in this style.

Sweet music, Kevin!

This is really cool Kevin!! GREAT tone you are getting out of that Terry dulcimer! Appreciate the credit for the Twinkle variations - I think that whole thing will evolve for you into your very own set of variations. I really like what you did with the video too....very relaxing!!

Thanks Kevin.
