King Of The Fairies-Hammered Dulcimer

Irish March. Derived from a Jacobite tune called Bonny Charlie. It first appeared in many 18th century Scots and Northern English publications.

In the hands of a skilled player a hammered dulcimer rivals any instrument in an orchestra

[@billresseguie1604]

I agree!

Nicely played, delightful to hear, and fun to watch. Thanks for sharing .

Thanks. For some reason that is a really fun tune. Not sure I can explain why.

I have loved this tune since I first heard it on the game "Granny's Garden" on the old BBC B Computer. Interesting history. Dulcimer sounds great. Many thanks.

[@billresseguie1604]

Interesting. I wonder why this video is viewed a lot more than my other ones. I wonder if the tune is known from other video games or other media.

[@SittingComfortably]

I am loving ypur channel - good choice of tunes & nicely played
But, I wonder whether can you cut slightly later? I like to hear the reverberations die a bit more, it's quite jolting to suddenly cut when there's still quite a lot of reverb going on.

[@billresseguie1604]

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll start doing that

[@taurotar]

What make is your HD? 16/15?

[@billresseguie1604]

Yes, 16/15 with a few high treble and low bass strings on the side

[@rebeccabledsoe4550]

My hammered dulcimer was stolen and would like to know a place I can get a nice one ?

[@williamresseguie9036]

That sucks. I got mine after going to a festival in Michigan. There were a few sellers and got to check out several different dulcimers. I picked one and ordered it from the builder. If you kind of know what you want, that makes it easier. What kind of dulcimer was your old one and where do you live?

[@suser122]

Dusty Strings is awesome.

[@williamresseguie9036]

@@suser122 Agree. Good quality. You can order them by mail and be confident it will be good.

[@DoReMeaCulpa]

Mine is from Dusty Strings and i have been very happy with it. They seem to be a reputable business that makes a good product.
