Thank you for listening. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you Jess! Your videos got me started as a player so I owe a lot to you.

Thank you! And thanks for listening!

Thank you so much! I appreciate you listening.

@@hiw9528 Yes. It's a Master Works 16/15 chromatic. You're making a great choice with the RCE XR. I'd love to upgrade to that one. Great builders and great people over there at Master Works.

I do not have sheet music for what I play on this video. I did a quick Google search for 'Music Box Dancer Sheet Music' and found a couple in the key of C. They're for piano but the melody is noted. Hope that helps! musescore.com/user/4121791/scores/1478041 schristiancollins.com/music/sheet_music/Frank_Mills--Music_Box_Dancer.pdf

@@douggiddings Thanks for responding, I did a search and found the same thing.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

That would sound pretty cool! Thanks for watching!

The beauty of this song and it's power to move one to tears is remarkable. But even more so when you know the goodness and love and peace of the Lord, as the writer of this hymn did at a time of unimaginable loss. My sincere condolences for your loss and prayers that you might know Him who saves. S

You're so welcome! I hope you have a great time playing it. Thank you for watching!

I just listened to "Ballade Pour Adeline" and I think it would be perfect. I had not heard that song before. Thanks for the suggestion! Also, I'm glad you liked the video too. Thank you for watching!

@@douggiddings your very much welcome. I always loved that song “Ballade Pour Adeline.” Pianist Richard Clayderman plays it. He also plays “Music Box Dancer” too. I hope to someday see a video of “Ballade Pour Adeline” on that beautiful instrument. Thank you.

Sound issues. It's a pretty relaxed atmosphere. Lots of fun though. That day was particularly challenging because it was raining so the whole festival had to be rearranged to be held indoors.

I think that would be "Hallelujah!"

Thanks Douglas!

Thank you for listening! I play a Masterworks 16/15 Chromatic and use Ed Hale hammers.

Thank you so much! I appreciate you listening.

I am so sorry I missed your comment for this long. Yes, you should be able to play this on a 16/15 (if you haven't already figured that out since this has taken me so long). I like that song 'The Rose' and have messed around with it from time to time. It has very good potential for the HD.

Thanks Steve!! I appreciate the feedback. Glad I could help.

Thanks Amy!!

Hi Daniel! Everyone's experience is different I'm sure but I picked up on playing the hammered dulcimer pretty quickly. This was after failing at the guitar. I had never played an instrument before trying the hammered dulcimer. Like most instruments, the price range is pretty broad. You can get your hands on a used one for a few hundred dollars all the way up to custom models that can push $7,000 - $8,000. I would definitely suggest watching Jess Dickinson's instruction videos (th-cam.com/video/WVHRHArEiLU/w-d-xo.html) even before you buy one. I watched them for a few months before buying my first dulcimer just to get a good feel for how to play and to see if I thought I could play it. Also, the dulcimer community is very generous with answering questions, sharing tips and just helping each other in general. You may see if there's a festival near you. Those are great for hearing the music, meeting people and checking out the different dulcimer makers. I hope that's helpful. Happy to answer any other questions you may have!

Thank you! It's a lot of fun to play. I'm so glad you're enjoying it!

Ha! Thanks Colin. I had practiced to keep it all under 7 minutes based on what happened to us last year.

Thanks! There were some great players there.

Was that YOU playing the dulcimer in concert last June in Grand Prairie... facebook.com/miguel.torres.9066389/videos/10211711859299483/

I couldn't see the video but no, it wasn't me. Apologies for taking so long to reply!

Here's the original version... I know that you can play the "dulcimer" part... th-cam.com/video/9qBrZKB0ymE/w-d-xo.html

It is a MasterWorks 16/15 chromatic. Russell Cook is a fantastic builder and a great guy too! masterworksok.com/

Thank you! I learned from the CD and some sheet music I found online. I hope Ted Yoder will do a tutorial on it some day. Great arrangement of a great song.

Thank you!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks Tim!

Thank you! That makes me happy to hear!

Howdy neighbor! Unfortunately, I don't have sheet music for it. I learned from piano sheet music I found online. I picked out the melody notes and then just kind of built around that. I should look at putting down on paper.

I put this together and you may find it useful. You can download and edit it to match the video exactly. I hope you don't mind me sharing it: musescore.com/user/15270836/scores/4212926

Thanks for sharing Sean! I'm not familiar with Musescore so I'm intrigued...

You are welcome. It's very useful. I am a beginner, and use it learn songs and read music.

Thank you very much Sean. This will help a lot.
