Hammered Dulcimer

[Chas]

Does anybody know who this is? And what is the name of the music? And anything else?

If you are asking the name of the musician and of the piece, doesn't seem the site gives any help for finding that.

If you want more information on the instrument, Wiki does give some good information. It even has a page listing many of the current musicians who use this instrument! It is very typical for Appalachian music of the 17th-19th centuries, much of which is likely to be of Scots-Irish origin, especially from the sound of this piece.

I used to love listening to that at the apple and cheese festival in Canton, PA when I was growing up. Beautiful music.

Galician - Thanks for the info. I've really got to follow this up. I was blown away when I heard the clip, it is just so hauntingly beautiful,

Thanks for posting the link. The hammered dulcimer is one of my favorite instruments.

That was really neat

The tune sounded like one to dance a reel to

Cheers

Is it called serendipity or fortuosity? - I found the link by accident and now it is fast becoming my favourite type of music.

I would say serendipity, only because your fate hopefully didn't hang on coming across the site.

Its a piping tune, the name escapes me but we play it at the end our or tune "Kll Paddy Vol. 1" from our first cd.

I forget the name of the tune, but I think Bad Haggis has it on one of their CDs.
