I have not even had lessons of any kind. Chris Foss is in process of making my 16/15 Phoebe from Songbird. As watched these free lessons from Mr. Dickinson, I became so mesmerized. You truly helped me to get started before I get my new Hammered Dulcimer. Thank you so very much for sharing your basic skills, so I myself and others may understand! Kathleen
Stunningly Gorgeous!!! You are a musical genius Sir. A very Merry and Blessed Christmas to you. Peace, Joy and Happiness to all throughout the year. May we be eternally grateful for the greatest gift of all our Savior Jesus Christ. With heartfelt thanks be to God for the treasure that is music.
WOW! I'm totally inspired!! I googled Joy to the World Hammered Dulcimer and this came up. I was looking for some inspiration for myself in playing this tune that I have always loved. I have a lot of work to do!! Thanks.
This was awesome!! I remember years ago when I was at the National Competition for the Hammered Dulcimer at the Walnut Valley Music Festival in Winfield and you won. You are truly an inspiration!! I also play a Hammered Dulcimer and I truly LOVE what you do with yours!! Thank you for this video!! :)
That was awesome. Impressive technique, of course, but a beautiful, not overly-sentimental, arrangement. I watched it over and over, and couldn't see how you bent the string at 2:08. Is that a cedar soundboard?
You can read in some of the other comments about the three layers of audio in this recording. I think what you’re hearing is the baseline I recorded. Thanks for listening!
Amen🎉
Whoa!!!!!
I keep coming back for another listen. Had to show my son, Micah, who plays the hammered dulcimer all too seldom. Hoping to inspire him.
Really inspiring to a 75 yr. old HD guy in Mo.
Denny's Dulcimers ...carry on.
I really didn’t know this could be played so differently, but beautifully! I have to learn this......
Mark, tha was most beauiful, hope Beth and Alyce have listened to this. You are a great musician and dulcimer player.!!!
Nice Job From Mark Alan Wade
My heart is racing. I love the depth and movement of the music. Just beautiful!

VikingPadre Thanks! The soundboard is made out of mahogany. If you like the string bending trick, you should check out my grass roots CD. 😉
Would any lessons be available soon??
Is a bass playing with him? Or is it the dampening that makes it sound like it?

Beautiful!!!
What woods were used in this model? As close to dulcimer heaven as I’ve heard.
It's a Dusty Strings D650. Mahogany top and Maple bridges. I recently upgraded to a Master Works Dulciforte though. It sounds even better!
