    Critically acclaimed musician Ted Yoder is widely considered “the Bela Fleck of the hammered dulcimer." Ted is a National Hammered Dulcimer champion. He’s released five beloved and critically acclaimed solo albums, and become a master educator of the instrument.
    Ted has been profiled in the Kearney Hub, Huffington Post, and on NPR’s All Things Considered show, among many other features, profiles, and reviews in regional and
    national tastemaking outlets. On Wednesday, August 24, 2016, Ted became something of a household name when a Facebook Live video of him from his Live From The Orchard series playing Tears For Fears’ “Everybody Wants To Rule The World” went viral. The video rocketed up to 53 million views in four days

      They are probably used to music (I use the term in the loosest possible manner) that they can't actually HEAR, just feel the vibration through their body from the high volume and low frequency bass beat. When presented with something that their ears can actually hear, they don't know how to process it. Audiologists for years to come will rejoice and take their money !

      This is also in the bio if you cared to look so I will paste it here since you do not know how to read! :"Critically acclaimed musician Ted Yoder is widely considered “the Bela Fleck of the hammered dulcimer." Ted is a National Hammered Dulcimer champion. He’s released five beloved and critically acclaimed solo albums, and become a master educator of the instrument.
      Ted has been profiled in the Kearney Hub, Huffington Post, and on NPR’s All Things Considered show, among many other features, profiles, and reviews in regional and
      national tastemaking outlets. On Wednesday, August 24, 2016, Ted became something of a household name when a Facebook Live video of him from his Live From The Orchard series playing Tears For Fears’ “Everybody Wants To Rule The World” went viral. The video rocketed up to 53 million views in four days."

    First time I've seen a damper pedal on a hammered dulcimer. Nice! I have a beautiful one made for me by a man who had a company in Boone NC but I can't remember the name now because it's been well over 20 years ago, but it does not have the damper. I picked up the "hammers" having never played one and quickly learned Amazing Grace. When he saw this, He showed me his shop and showed me the different stages of construction. He realized I had an ear for music so he didn't tell me, but asked me to thump on the three resonant cavities inside. He somehow had them tuned to a major chord! We became instant friends. I bought the best one he had and have loved it, but now wish it had the dampers. You play well!

    It's my own remorse

    Help me make the most of

    Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
    When they do I'll be right behind you
    So glad we've almost made it
    So sad they had to fade it
    Everybody wants to rule the world
