The versatility of the hammered dulcimer is amazing

[@garrylogan4554]

This is definitely my favourite way to hear that song. Theres a long tradition of finding music you appreciate and reinterpreting it to add something of yourself... The dulcimer is so delicate and ethereal but sets out the template for the way this tune is going to go and also provides the heart of the song, at times when the notes climb upwards it sends a chill down my spine. An unusual and unfamiliar instrument played by a true musician. Total class.

[@DJ_CUDACORE]

I mean how are people so talented? This is amazing...I am useless LOL

[@WarzlGames]

I used to think that way, until I decided to try things and practice. (I can yo-yo skateboard and play guitar now)

[@simanami2005]

Dont say that. Im sure theres something that youre good at and you dont know what it is yet

[@olddieselguy1]

No, no one is more useless than the guy who installs turn signals on Bmw's.

[@grantmills4184]

@@olddieselguy1 hahaha good one, this is indeed true

[@UltraGamma25]

With that attitude...

[@Anonomush_oranges]

This gives the instrument new relevance. Playing tunes like this will encourage younger people to take up the instrument since they won't feel they'll be stuck playing old Irish tunes.

[@legalcake6125]

this version is amazing

[@johnduffy6546]

Nicely done! The hammer dulcimer has to be the 'happiest instrument' ever made...The resonant notes just bring a smile to my face.

[@EdwardGoodman]

I know what you mean!

[@luisrenatomini1616]

Muito bom!!

[@manochehrteimory9037]

Beautfil. I hardly tried to understand the sequence of the notes on your instrument, but I couldn't. Some of the notes seem missed in the sequence. Can somebody explains how the instrument works?

[@darktread2136]

It’s like a harp had a baby with a xylophone and it chose to ignore it’s classical heritage and play soft rock that would make a guitar cheer. 😮

[@NostalgicWon]

awesome

[@JasminAlvarez1]

Wow love it!

[@jtrose6995]

sooo good!!

[@davidtait1450]

Superb, is it all dulcimer, it sounds almost like there is a strummed guitar or mandolin rhythm but maybe that is just as a string instrument?

[@EdwardGoodman]

He does have a guitar backing track that he is playing. I forget if it is his son or his friend backing.

[@andymyers2759]

Very nice indeed. Do you have any recommendations on the best way to learn and is it easier or harder than the piano or guitar for instance?

[@keesgewoon]

This guy (I suppose Tim Simek) is amazing on his hammered dulcimer. Unfortunately, the timsimek.com website does not exist anymore.

[@patrickryan807]

Where did you get your dulcimer? I want one, but I can’t find one with the notes written on it like the one you have.

[@EdwardGoodman]

Hi there! The notes are actually printed on a stick that is then attached to the top of the dulcimer with Velcro. 🙂
