Cimbalom (dulcimer) solo played by Jeno Farkas, Szalai Hungarian Gypsy Band

[@OziMarika]

Csodás Hallani it a KZbin -en...Hallottam a Csodás Szalai Zenészeket Ausztráliában egy vidéki Városban 2008-ban...Egyetlen Magyarok voltunk a Miskolci férjemel, és Én aki itt élek 1958-tol ...Talpra áltam és az örömtöl Táncolni kezdtem... Ausztrál barátok néztek rám nem tudták elhinni mi ütöt belém...De én boldog voltam ilyen csodálatos Zenekart hallani...A Szalai Úr mosolygott le rám és biztatott hogy csak táncoljak... Ez volt számomra mese szép elmély maradva örökre... Töbet ért ez a vidéki Koncert mint nyeremény pénzt kaptam volna...Isten Áldja meg az Ohazai SzalaiGypsy Orchestra tagjait...

I love dulcimer. I sing with dulcimer music by a professional and I love it. Greetings from Czech republic, from South Moravia. From Podluží.

[@V3nom7]

This is not a dulcimer, it's a cymbalum (or cimbalom). These a 2 different instruments, very close, but different.

my great grandpa was a famous hungarian Cimbalom player at his time. his name was lajos gaspar and he lived till the end of 1930s and early 1940s. i still have family in hungary, but unfortunately i have never met them and i dont know where they live now.

[@KiranChen-m6j]

I like this

[@Fulkren]

brings me back to when i was a kid listening to my grandfather's music, reminding me of my Slavic heritage.

[@noelstr]

It’s a Hungarian instrument, so not Slavic…

[@kg-fw1rx]

my father built and played them, and his heritage was hungarian but my my hungarian mom said they were Slovak, and in doing my ancestry I traced back my Kastely roots to the area now known as Trebisov, Slovakia. Sounds like we had a similar upbringing. I'm currently trying to find someone to tune my instrument. My dad built it but I cannot play or tune it.

[@kg-fw1rx]

@@noelstr many of us who are Hungarian, have Slovak roots because Hungary was so large and with each battle lost more and more. The name Toth (Tot) means Slovak by the way. Lots of us Toth's out there.

[@smitentertainment]

This is the sound I like most for this instrument, with a low tone of the bass in the back. The filming captures the warm melancholy too. Thank you.

[@graysonhugh1]

Besides the amazing sound of this traditional Hungarian instrument, and the virtuosity of the musicians, what I love is the 7/8 time signature of the second half! Not so easy to sustain over a period of time at that fast tempo.

[@danielgroza4982]

When you think of it like 3+2+2 it comes easy. Nevertheless, he does not ”think” about it, instead it comes as a natural cultural heritage. It has deep roots within the folklore, you are born and raised feeling it; one can reckon there is a dance movement in the whole. I say this, as we, Romanians, share broadly the same ”feeling”.

[@Thmusic7]

Amazing!

[@DennisCosteaJr]

Something I just noticed is the unique tonal quality of the notes played on the Cymbalom, because are those metal "strips" instead of strings?? Which then makes me wonder about the history of the instrument itself! My grandma (Szaraz) had one of these instruments but was primarily a piano player, so I cannot quite recall her playing the Cymbalom, but she did sing a few songs VERY MUCH in the style of the notes played in this video! There was a wavering quality to her voice bordering on the Operatic in styling, well at least this is how I can describe it here now. I will need to look up some "classical" Hungarian singing and see if I can hear more of her voice in whatever examples I can locate. Many thanks for sharing it! Köszönöm.

[@shrimpfry880]

i know i'm 4 years late, but probably she sing what you call "nóta" (folkish sounding songs that were popular from the late 19th century until ww2), the first form of pop music here, that took inspiration from old folk songs (népdal) and recruitment marches (verbunkos)

Can you tell which one exactly? It's really possible because it has some slavic feeling into it and cimbalom (or it's version) is also present in folclore of a lot of slavic countries like Czech Republic, Slovakia, Serbia, Croatia, etc...
