Ever since I knew what this instrument was I had always wanted to pursue learning it. Unfortunately I was not gifted musically or with coordination, but this remains my favorite instrument nonetheless. I stumbled across this video while scrolling through the platform and am completely awestruck with how unbelievably beautiful and amazing this was. Listening to this and watching you play took me back to a simpler time and gave me a true moment of mental respite in my chaos filled life. This was truly a blessing. Thank you for your talent and devotion to this wonderful instrument.
Thank you for the comment! The hammered dulcimer is actually one of the easiest instruments to learn to play basic things on, especially for people who have not done music before. It's worth trying!
I think i already commented on this before, but it has really grown on me. It is such a beautiful piece of music! This is nothing like "Johann Pachelbel's celebrated Baroque canon" Your song is 100 times better. I thing you are giving way to much credit to that guy. This is a completely different song. An original composition. Just because you used some of the sam chords, does not make it his song. Every single pop song, uses the exact same progression, and they are not copyrighted. This is your work from start to finish. Please take full credit for it, because you made a masterpiece!
Was listing to the usualy heavy metal in the background. Not sure how it got on this... I was stunned @1:40 Glad TH-cam steered me here. Such artistry.
Each of my daughter's wedding marches have been to this song. It is a very emotional song for me, to walk 3 beautiful girls down the aisle. And in July, my eldest granddaughter will repeat this for her daddy to enjoy.
Absolutely gorgeous sound! Love the stylization here! At one point it sounded like a crystal waterfall of sound cascading across my ears! So calming! Why was this only suggested to me now?
My husband is in the process of making one of these for our grandson. Just sent him the video I think he will love it. He was very interested a few years ago when we first showed him what they looked like and spent a lot of time webbing around listening to hammered dulcimer music. this video is so inspiring!!!!
It's truly amazing when some woods, two sticks, and some strings all encased in a wooden box...come together with a master's touch. This is joyful - and healing - and beautiful. I imagine when the HD is played by a master, one of them says, "Shhhh... everyone! The LORD is LISTENING!" Thank you, Mr. Timothy Seaman!
I just found out about this instrument. Recognized the sound from Four Tet 2017. You are so talented at plying it. This song goes so well on it. Love it!
So happy to be welcoming you to Ohio once again this Memorial Day weekend for our DulciMore Festival 21 in Lisbon. This will be posted on Facebook - hoping to get many more people interested in attending and seeing/hearing your beautiful music in person.
This song has had me moved ever since I was a child, every single time I heard it play ... And oh man... You took it to another level there... I'm afraid I just can't help hitting that replay button. Lord, you are incredibly amazing. I of course subscribed to your fantastic channel, and I pray you will bless us with more of your talent. Best regards.
Beautiful. "Canon" is my very favourite classical piece and the way this is played around on the dulcimer is just amazing. I think I might have found my new favourite instrument!
I just got one ! It'll be years if ever!!!! I only wish....someday as to be as awesome!!! True music you are making before me eyes,!!! Mine is homemade, not sure of the age, but will take photos all a long the way of cleaning and repairing.. My cat just played her. How for a name. I'm so excited about my new toy!! You are a true inspiration !!🍀Vj
I received an early Christmas gift, a Hammered dulcimer. It’s very large and after listening to this I thought WOW, I have a lot to learn. I’m like you I can only hope to play this song or I’ll just watch him..Amazingly Beautiful
@@timothyseaman I need to learn the tricks.I can play my mountain dulcimers & recorded 12 songs that I wrote. I would like to do the same with my Hammered Dulcimer. I don’t read music I just play by sound. I will have to keep it til I finally get what chords everyone starts in. Thank you for your response ❤️
I play guitar, bass, and picked dulcimer at the moment and I’m looking to pick a few more up soon. The sheer number of stringer instruments that exist in the world fascinate me
I was at Seneca Rock two weeks ago and watched you play this piece live and enjoyed it tremendously!the background and the setting as well as the song was awesome!thanks for creating memories, the way you were playing and the way it sounded, I just did not want it to end and am glad to find it on you tube. Thank you very much.
Very beautiful Tim. And quite lively. When tunes begins slowly you often wonder whether the next part will be the same. This tune changes tempo several times. Wonderful.
It actually is a carefully laid out episodic plan, and it turned out to work! It also isn't actually a tune, but a strategy to vary improvisations over a repeating set of chords.
Thank you so much for sharing your score. I picked up a masterworks hammer dulcimer, with no music background (I am a self taught drummer) I find it such a challenge to play your Canon in D on a hammer dulcimer. I am two months into this and liking every bit of it. Thanks again, all glory be to Jesus
I am having my review for my board exam and I'm really curious what dulcimer looks like and I was stunned! Such a good instrument and a talented musician! Clap clap!
We have included a few of your videos to our bedtime routine. It is so relaxing to listen to you play such beautiful music. My two year old son is a huge fan! Especially to the videos with the harp duet where you also play the flute. So beautiful!
Hello Mr. Seaman, I came across your performance of the Cannon on hammered dulcimer. You did a wonderful job on this wonderful musical piece. As I listened, I the sound was so perfect, that it felt as though I were listening to a music box. I enjoyed your work on the dulcimer very much and I have added this piece to my computer favorites. Best wishes from Central Florida, USA. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to your future work...Will Ortiz
I am kicking around the idea of learning to play the hammered dulcimer, this is pushing me more and more to it. What a beautiful piece. How long before I could play like this? 1 yr, 5 yrs, never?
I recommend getting a dulcimer and starting to explore what comes easiest to you to make sounds that please you the most! Everybody seems to go a different direction on the instrument. Pachelbel's Canon itself is impossible to play on the dulcimer, so I decided to use chord structures and fragments of the melody to make a flowing arrangement. One technique I'm using in four of the sections is a ragtimey separated-hands method that, once you get the knack, comes very easily from then on, like riding a bike. Another technique that is quite doable is the fast arpeggios from right to left, just a repeating zigzag that looks a lot harder than it actually is. The biggest factor, though, is expression: every note is voiced with a certain kind of strike to make the piece come alive, rather than playing too evenly like a music box or harpsichord. This is especially doable when you use a powerful repeating set of chords like the ones in Pachelbel's Canon! They're D A Bm F#m G D Em A over and over.
@@timothyseaman Thank you for this explanation and enlightenment. Rather than “prescribing” a fixed “how long” answer, you’ve given a response both instructional and inspiring to all who aspire to reach a level of playing that can begin even to dream of playing this piece. Thank you, and thank you for sharing your music - this is permeatingly beautiful.
I am jealous of of your talent. Your a stud! ;-) God bless you! I shared this on Facebook with the proclaimed determination to learn this song so that I can compel my young daughter to master t the instrument! She was diagnosed in utero with a condition that was initially explained as completely hopeless but after she was born those same doctors call her a miracle baby! If I can achieve enough skill to demonstrate this instrument to Emma, then I have no doubt she will learn to master it! Good bless you, Gentleman!

I just stumbled on a video of the hammered dulcimer and kept right on watching - this is the 5th or 6th in a row!
As a musician, I am just floored by the dedication that would be necessary to play this instrument. Imagine tuning it to begin with!
@@ninasvids507 what do you call someone who hangs around with a bunch of musicians?
A percussionist.
@@andyhiscox2750 since piano is percussion that makes me laugh =P
They really arent hard to tune once you have the tools
Here is the same piece done on a similar instrument but played slower and in a different manner.

Simply one of the most beautiful renditions of one of the most beautiful songs of all time. Wow...
it's been 7 years an i'm still watching this video on repeat and it continues to blow me away, amazing
Wow
Same tho
I’m still watching it too- I only discovered 4 or 5 years ago 😂
Was listing to the usualy heavy metal in the background. Not sure how it got on this... I was stunned @1:40 Glad TH-cam steered me here. Such artistry.
Oh my, you have two gifts: the obvious musical one, and encouragement in your response to ninetieslovechild, God bless you!!!
I like it so much and must hear it over and over
One of my favorite pieces of music perfectly performed on one of my favorite instruments ❤

So beautiful. Now I know about the hammered dulcimer.
This beautiful performance perfectly embodies the musical aesthetics of Canon , and generates impression and comfort and pleasure and admiration

Absolutely heartwarming. The power of music is undescribable.
Wow, my respect. It sounds so so beautiful, love it so much!!!
Simply quite delectable to the ears.
Growing up in the mountains of NC I have heard the dulcimer all my life, but you sir are a treasure :)
Never tire of Pachelbel!
Pierces the soul. So indescribably beautiful.
Magnificent!
That was so beautiful and expressive, it made me cry.
This has lifted my spirits. Joy and admiration are filling my life, listening to this. Thank you so much.
Superb: a silver rain of joyful sound.
