Misty Mountains - The Hobbit (hammered dulcimer/Hackbrett cover)

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey "Misty Mountains (Cold)"- Howard Shore

[@-jank-willson]

Howard Shore, Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman, and John Williams are all amazing!

[@Bkesal14]

This is my new favourite intrument, love the amount of natural reverb.

[@kevinramsey417]

The dulcimer is my favorite folk instrument. Never fails to remind me of my appalachians, and in particular I think of when our whole family would take an annual trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee which is nestled in the Smokies -- the real Misty Mountains.

[@TedYoderMusic]

Way to go. I love it. Well played.

[@LiliKoblentz]

You know your life is awesome when Ted Yoder comments on your video and says he loves it.

[@jdncoke2]

[@Jifmona]

Please share your Music sheet for this ^.^!!! or please make one, because I would love to play this on my dulcimer!!!! Thank you and your playing is beautiful!!

[@captainironears]

I really appreciate that you write the song name on your hand. Keeps me informed. :D

[@Frisbieinstein]

It so she won't forget what song she's playing. That can come in handy.

[@nanowhit]

It would be cool if someone made a wooden box for this and made little keys that struck the strings with hammers.

[@safwanmuhaimin8263]

Dark Battle Chain that would basically be a mini piano

[@Joe0898]

That's the joke dumbass

[@pinkfreud62]

More like the Appalachian Mountains Cold, lol. Real nice.

[@SplendidFellow]

I bought my dulcimer from Ted. That guy's awesome.

[@robgoodson7506]

Could you please include the sheet music to this song and any others in the future. It would be a big help. I've got a long way to go,but I'm trying to get as good as you. Thanks.

[@vincenzopasquarella8533]

Great performance. Congratulations!! I've just bought a dulcimer that is very similar to yours, but I find it difficult to tune it because I don't have the tuning chart. Could you help me? Thank you

[@tyler4245]

kwal music dude :)

[@6969smurfy]

Well did anybody find the sheet to this?

[@sbasx1]

Re: misty mountains- what kind of hammers are you using. Where did you get them?

[@DebraFrame]

where can I find the sheet music for this. I would love to try it, it's very pretty and slow, just my style. I can play the Butterfly. C-:

[@JerichoDeath]

Hey, I don't think I've heard a Dulcimer with such a long sustain before. Is it something special about this one, or have I just not heard enough of them before now?

[@TheEadgyth]

There is nothing special about my dulcimer. The sustain depends on the room I'm playing in and where I've placed my microphone.

[@KMH1203]

Excellent! What brand Dulcimer is the one your playing?

[@TheEadgyth]

This one is form Harald Teller.

[@KMH1203]

Awesome! Thanks for your reply. =)

[@alexandrabarbara2455]

Hey, I have a question. I love this song and I play Dulcimer too. I will play this song too. I hope you can give me the Notes, so I can this Song too. I hope you understand my English. It is not the best.

[@TheEadgyth]

Hello. For this cover my lead sheet was the version that was transcribed by Eric Daniel. You should be able to download it for free.

[@conradvonreinhardstein1275]

HEllo! At least I've found a H D - hackbrett correctly tuned... and looking as my new one. But could you please send or explain your tuning please ?

[@TheEadgyth]

+Jean-Pierre Ghys Hello! I'll try my best to explain the tuning. I use an electric tuner to tune my instrument. This is a chromatic dulcimer. The tones are a whole distance in each row. This chart shows it quite nicely: www.timmanning.net/assets/images/Hackbrett-Tuning-chart.jpg It's almost identical to my dulcimer, except that my dulcimer has one tone more. I hope, I was able to help you.

[@conradvonreinhardstein1275]

+TheEadgyth It's exactly what I was looking for... many thanx for the quick answer. I will tune it soon... and try it again. By the way how much time did you use to be able to play like this ? Di you use any method ? Or just..; by listening ?

[@TheEadgyth]

+Jean-Pierre Ghys I had a teacher for about 5 years and learnt many classic and traditional songs. Since I'm playing the dulcimer for 12 years now, I just once started to experiment with contemporary music. And I have to admit, it sounded good and that's why I still try various new things. If I want to learn a new song, it usually takes my about a month till I'm absolutely sure, that I won't make any mistakes while recording it. You just don't have to give up, even when something (like tuning) isn't going as you want it to. So, have fun with your new dulcimer.

[@conradvonreinhardstein1275]

+TheEadgyth OK ... 12 years... I won't panic before a moment..; my usual instruments are guitars, for a lot of years (I'm 52) but I want try to learn medieval kinds of instruments for reenactement... and fun at home

[@TheEadgyth]

+Jean-Pierre Ghys You definitely should not panic. I believe in 2 years (at most) you will already be able to impress many people. And for someone, who already plays one (ore more) instruments, there should be no problems. As long as you have fun, it will certainly sound good.

[@jdgrahamo]

You have a strange way of holding the hammers -- but it seems to work.

[@DenieceLaanen]

Sheet music please :)

[@desiraed9077]

i love you

[@TheEadgyth]

I know. :-D

[@Frisbieinstein]

I thought it was gonna be Led Zeppelin

[@gavindeanextine4769]

This sounds like a anime intro

[@6969smurfy]

Well did anybody find the sheet to this?

[@bwanamfupi]

I've got a transcription that I think is mostly correct to how it's played here. I also transposed it into the key of D because it's easier to play without the B-flat. Message me if you'd like the pdf.

[@Oblivionnightshadow]

Shawn Collins I want the PDF! Please! ;)

[@6969smurfy]

Shawn Collins hello i tried to email you without success. you said you had a PDF of misty mountain for me. if you please you could email me at smurphy6969@gmail dot com thanks a bunch.
