Cripple Creek - Mountain Dulcimer

[@mikesoule1352]

He's using a quill (feather) for a plectrum, and also a "noter" on the fretboard instead of his fingers. It's how many traditional people would have played. Very nice! 🎶🎵🎶

[@dulcilass]

My favorite style of play.

[@lindamorgan2678]

Wow !! That is so cool I have read about playing with a quill but never seen it .. Looks very difficult but boy it sounds good Thank you !

[@a.abeyta6237]

Dadgum shame there's not a way to give more than one thumbs up. This deserves more than one

[@maverickpanda]

[@username7126]

[@helenhighwater5313]

[@MikeMumm]

Nice to see someone using a noter stick. Keep it up.

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

Using a turkey quill as a plectrum sounds better than using a guitar pick.

[@RisingDimond]

Keep up the traditional playing, people forget the sound of playing as they were meant to be played.

[@whatabouttheearth]

The only reason people started playing in "traditional" ways in the first place is because they weren't playing things "as they were meant to be played" 🙄

[@paulb1953]

Imagine gatekeeping a niche instrument like this 😀 play it every which way to keep it alive

What are you picking with? Sounds awesome!

[@jh9255]

A quill. It's literally a wild Turkey feather with the down stripped off. He also using a short wooden dowel as a slide called a 'noter' which is why this is called called 'Noter & Quill' style.

[@sparrowsparrow4197]

And hallelujah 😊❤

[@spencerhaggard2952]

Do you have the sheet music/tab for this? I'd love to learn it, it sounds great!

[@erici9665]

It’s a dulcimer you can’t hit a wrong note it isn’t like how you think whatsoever

[@roland8578]

Das ist sehr schön, aber mit dieser Kopfhaltung wird er bald mächtige Probleme haben....🙂👍
