My Newest Addition
I finally bought something I've wanted for about 25 years...a beautiful Hammered Dulcimer. I took a few pics of it, and the flash kinda washes out the gorgeous woodwoork that went into her making, but here she is anyway.

Wow. That looks pretty cool. So you play it like a harp?
|
You play it with little hand held hammers. You can see them resting in the upper left-hand part of the picture. It's kinda the same concept of a piano, except the you are manually striking the strings with the little hammers, instead of pushing a piano key which in turn makes the hammer hit the strings inside the piano.
Also, it sounds much more delicate, like a harp. |
I love hammered dulcimer music. That's awesome! Hope you have a great time learning tunes and bringing joy to yourself and others.
|
wow - very impressive - now let's have a song!!
|
Yay my second favorite instrument! It looks gorgeous. I hope you learn some songs soon. :)
|
Oh yeah, the hammered dulcimer a wonderful instrument.
What's the first song you're going to learn on it? |
That's awesome, Monalisa! Do you play any other instruments or is this your first?

I'd love to run one of those through some distortion and effects boxes! |
