Thanks for watching! I'm a Hammered Dulcimer player in Fort Worth, Texas. Hit that Notification Bell so you'll know the moment I post more Hammered Dulcimer goodness to the channel.
"Goodnight" on Hammered Dulcimer
Originally a piano piece recorded by Helen Jane Long for her album Intervention. A wonderful, soothing lullaby I that thought would do well on the Hammered Dulcimer. Please go listen to Helen Jane Long's version too!

My favorite hymn of all time. There is so much comfort and hope in the lyrics and you'll have a hard time finding more emotional music. I hope listening brings you comfort. And Lord, haste the day...

Beautiful
Such a lovely rendition of this classic song. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for listening. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
Great tutorial for a wonderful tune... thanks for the lesson!
Great lesson, Doug!! Keep at it!
Thank you Jess! Your videos got me started as a player so I owe a lot to you.
Very nice, Doug.
Nice sound
Thank you! And thanks for listening!
so beautiful and peaceful....
It‘s wonderful!!
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.
great teacher. .loved the song
i like your teaching style. It is easy to follow and learn. :You mentioned that if we had other song ideas to let you know. How about Mr,.Sandman. Thank you, Barbara
Do you have sheet music available for this arrangement? All I can find is in the key of G.
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 4 this nice tune! Love it!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you so much-someone asked me to play this, and I hadn’t gotten around yet. This will really help. Lovely.
This is so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing. A balm to my soul, during a bittersweet time of loss and change. Amen and amen!
How does this only have 5k views... You are incredible keep up the good work
I’m using this tutorial to learn it on my flute 😆
Music Box Dancer was one of my mom's favorite tunes. I'm trying to learn it on the kalimba - I can't afford a hammered dulcimer.
That would sound pretty cool! Thanks for watching!
I'm not even a Christian but this song has stuck with me ever since it played at the first funeral I've gone to in my adult life. I started crying again
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
Thank you for takinf the time to do this tutorial. It was very easy to follow you and learn this song.
You're so welcome! I hope you have a great time playing it. Thank you for watching!
Could the song that’s called “Ballade Pour Adeline” be played on this beautiful instrument? If so, can you show us how on a video? Thank you for doing this one, “Music Box Dancer” has always been my favorite instrumental music piece as well as “Ballade Pour Adeline.” Thank you. PS: where can I find this instrument at?
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.
why is this first five minutes of this so awkward hahaha
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.
undoubtedly the most popular song in the history of all the worlds music hahahahahaha
I think that would be "Hallelujah!"
Great tutorial! Easy to follow. Thank you!
Thanks Douglas!
Very beautiful! What kind of hammered dulcimer do you play -- from which firm which model?
Thank you for listening! I play a Masterworks 16/15 Chromatic and use Ed Hale hammers.
Soulful, thank you. 💙
Thank you so much! I appreciate you listening.
Doug, that is awesome sir. I am brand new learning my way around the HD, getting the scales down type of thing right now. you do this on the Masterworks 16/15c can it be done on the 16/15? Also you asked about songs...the one I would really like to learn is The Rose by Bette Middler, but a slowed down version is that something that you could put together and share? Thank You Sir. Again well done.
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.
Doug, I just learned this from your video. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Steve!! I appreciate the feedback. Glad I could help.
Beautiful! Thank you
Funny that youtube would suggest this video in February, but I was intrigued. Very nice job :)
Thanks Amy!!
How hard is it to learn? How expensive is it to buy? A would love ta learn how ta play n learn ta play Christian songs on hammered dulcimer like what a day that will be / I will sing of my redeemer / are you washed in the blood n others
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! I enjoy learning this song. It is a work in progress at the moment.
Thank you! It's a lot of fun to play. I'm so glad you're enjoying it!
Good song selection! I was hoping to hear the C section of 78 Eatonwood Green!
Ha! Thanks Colin. I had practiced to keep it all under 7 minutes based on what happened to us last year.
Impressive
Thanks! There were some great players there.

Bom dia baixei no celular Gostaria de aprender as notas
I heard a few boo-boos at the end, but that song is VERY difficult to play flawlessly with the dulcimer. At any rate, it sounded great!! Thanx for the tutorial! On another note, there is a song by a popular Mexican pop band Timbiriche called "Princesa Tibetana", and I believe that the whole rhythm driving force is on a dulcimer. I'd love to see you play it live on video. It's an arrpegiated (sp?)Gmajor, Fmajor, and Cmajor, simple but sounds awesome... th-cam.com/video/atM_amERRjE/w-d-xo.html
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
Sounds good. I'm wondering who made your dulcimer?!
It is a MasterWorks 16/15 chromatic. Russell Cook is a fantastic builder and a great guy too! masterworksok.com/
Very well done! Thanks you. Did you just learn it from the CD of did you have the music from Ted?
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.
A favorite of mine as well that always speaks into the heart with truth and healing love. Beautifully played and expressed. Thank you!
Thank you!
Wow! That was beautiful. One of my favorite hymns too. And I agree Lord, haste the day....
Thank you.
Thank you.
Doug, I've been playing this song for about 2 years now. Enjoy it a lot, cute and easy piece to play, always gets comments for style. Watching your video is the same way I play this, except you tend to move up and down the bridge, I like moving across. Like the other comments, I learned this from the piano sheet. Going to subscribe to your channel, thanks for doing these songs, I like your style, very similar to mine.
Thanks Tim!
This is a favorite that I have just never taken time to learn. Learned it TODAY! Thanks and blessings to you.
Thank you! That makes me happy to hear!
Wow I was just getting ready to learn this tune so this will be very helpful. The only music I could find was for piano so it would take some work to extract a Hammered Dulcimer part from it. Do you have a score for what you are playing? By the way I am from just west of Fort Worth (Willow Park)!
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.
Wonderful
