Irish Medley on Mountain Dulcimer

[@GNTRR]

Beautiful performance and sound!! Thanks for your sharing, enjoyed your wonderful video! Have a great weekend, dear Dave!

[@dholeton]

Thank you Aisoke. Years ago the dulcimer was a very simple instrument played at home in a very simple manner. Electricity, radio, TV, and internet have caused some changes in home entertainment and maybe there aren't as many people playing simply on a simple instrument at home anymore. Dave

Very nostalgic and peaceful!

Thank you Martin. In March I like to play Irish tunes and celebrate my Dad's Irish ancestry. Dave

Very lovely Dave. I always enjoy hearing you play your dulcimer. Best wishes. -Ron

[@dholeton]

Thanks Ron. I've made multi-track recordings of these songs but I decided to record this medley in the simplest dulcimer style on a single track. Dave

Another excellent song as well as a magnificent and exciting interpretation, congratulations and thanks for sharing these moments-Greetings from Madrid and see you soon, like 13

Thank you Jose. The mountain dulcimer can be played with complexity or simplicity. I have recorded multi-track versions with a more complex style of playing, so this is my attempt to show a simple style of playing. I hope to inspire more people to play their own music in any way. Dave

Beautiful.Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Cavka. The DAC tuning on a mountain dulcimer is good for many songs in a minor key. Dave

[@dholeton]

Thank you Alma. I have recorded some of these songs with multiple instruments, but I wanted to just play them in the simplest way possible with just a mountain dulcimer. Dave

Thank you Othmar. I play Irish songs to celebrate my Irish ancestry and German songs to celebrate my German ancestry. It's all fun. Dave

Very good Dave, was that perhaps Dorian mode.🤔

[@dholeton]

Brian, I haven't heard from you in forever. I hope you are well. All of the tunes in this video were in DAC tuning and Aeolean Mode. Take Care Dave
