My wife and I used to go to a Hungarian restaurant across the river, in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, called the Blue Danube. They had a young man that would play this instrument in the evening on the weekends. It wasn't a fancy place, but the owners were very nice, the food was plentiful and delicious, and the addition of the sounds of the hammer dulcimer made the atmosphere romantic and wonderful. This video brings back happy memories of me, and my young, beautiful wife, and later, our first little son. Unfortunately, The Blue Danube closed a few years back because the owner retired and his children didn't want to continue with the restaurant. I hope he and his wife enjoyed their retirement as much as we enjoyed their special restaurant.
Lovely story.
I’m a Detroiter as well - St Casimir from the old neighborhood- Merry Christmas
I miss so many old restaurants. 😻💛🙏
I attended West Virginia University in the late 70’s. This instrument is found throughout Appalachia. One of my roommates was from Iran. He said the Persians called this instrument the “Santa”. I suspect that this type of instrument evolved in many places independently as it is a combination percussion and stringed instrument, the most primitive kinds of instruments.
Lo these many years ago I to enjoyed the Blue Danube in Windsor.
This was beautiful! Thank you for mentioning that it's originally a Ukrainian carol. As a Ukrainian I do appreciate this!
I had no idea. I truly appreciate learning this!
Yes, I'm 65 and all these years had no idea!❣️👍🏼
🇺🇦 ❤
My favorite carol.
and people wonder why transiberian orchestra is renowned for this song x'D it's in the name "trans-siberian"
I sang in an ensemble choir a couple of years ago and we had a guest accompanist who played hammered dulcimer. About ten minutes into rehearsal, our director stopped everyone and said “Alright, we’re all just gonna take a break and spend 5 minutes watching the hammered dulcimer together, so when that’s over, I’ll have your focus again.” 😂
Truly a mesmerizing instrument, and so well-played. Such a pleasant lady too!
She played this absolutely beautifully!!! The Dynamics are spot on and add to the magical feeling 🥰
That's the feeling I got too. I didn't know how to describe it. Magical and whimsical. Thank you, I loved it. Will you play us another song?
I got goosebumps.
She was my favorite music teacher! I had her in elementary school! She's the sweetest!
I didn't know the carol was Ukrainian and I didn't know the hammer dulcimer can be traced back to ancient Egypt. So I've learned two interesting facts and listened to you play. The carol sounds divine on that dulcimer. Thank you. ❣️ Merry Christmas!
The tune originated from Ukraine not the song. The actual song translates to something like
Bountiful, bountiful, a New Year’s carol,
A little swallow flew
and started to twitter,
to summon the master:
“Come out, come out, O master
look at the sheep pen,
there the ewes have yeaned
and the lambkins have been born
Your goods are great,
you will have a lot of money,
The good is good for you,
you will have a measure of money.
If not money, then chaff
you have a dark-eyebrowed wife.”
Bountiful, bountiful, a New Year’s carol,
A little swallow flew.
@@MegaBumblebee666thank you for this information. Very interesting
@@MegaBumblebee666 Thank you so much for this translation. In all my years performing this song I never heard those words!
The version most of us know today was actually adapted for the film Home Alone-true story.
@@jackjohnson291 I had been performing it for many years before that movie came out and still perform it in different iterations to this day. No, it isn't. I'm not saying John Williams didn't conduct a version for it, I'm saying it's not the most known version.
The sound of a hammered dulcimer has always given me chills, and so has this song. Hearing this was a full-body experience.
I’m so happy to share my passion!
Years ago I had a coworker that taught himself to play the hammered dulcimer. He was a cancer survivor and would go to the cancer center to play for people firming chemo. He made pillow cases for all their pillows, and would bake cakes for them. What an amazing human!
Yes! We should all be more like that!
Slight detail --- it's a Ukrainian *New Year's* carol, not a Christmas carol originally but a song about prosperity in the upcoming spring.
Still, this is a lovely interpretation of a wonderful tune, and the percussive quality of the Hammered Dulcimer really suits it well. No wonder it's your favorite to play on this gorgeous instrument!
Interesting information. Thank you!
Boosting this comment, it's fun info!
Very cool, it’s a very appealing tune
Then WHY are the words Christmas is here and Merry Christmas sung throughout it? ‘Christmas is here, bringing good cheer etc.’
@user-jc8rz2jj9r I was also wondering the same. So I GTS.
According to Wikipedia
"Carol of the Bells" is a popular Christmas carol, which is based on the Ukrainian song called "Shchedryk.” The music to “Carol of the Bells” was taken from the original Ukrainian song written by Mykola Leontovych while the English-language lyrics were written by Peter Wilhousky.
"Leontovych wrote "Shchedryk" in 1914, and in 1936 Wilhousky wrote English lyrics for it, creating "Carol of the Bells".[1] The Ukrainian music is in the public domain; Wilhousky's lyrics, however, are under copyright owned by Carl Fischer Music."
Perfection....just how the Carol of the Bells should be played...loved every note....
Trans Siberian Orchestra has an amazing rendition of Carol of the Bells
@as-cf7rxis this a real comment im losing it
@as-cf7rx I hope this is a joke. Look them up there a cool band its not woke
Grandma is a rockstar!!!! Excellent job!!!
I can honestly say this is the best hammered dulcimer music I've ever heard. Beautiful
listen to magical strings on youtube, a couple
I did NOT expect it to make those sounds but this is HEAVENLY 😍 How is this not more known?? Also the perfect control of the volume and the little drill sounds is insaaaaane 😍
Those hammers bounce super easily off the strings. I've messed around with them in the past at craft fairs growing up in E. Tennessee, and they're something else altogether when you can hear them in person!
Check out the persian santoor, you’ll love it. hammered dulcimers stayed very popular in persisn music.
They're popular in the Appalachia region of the USA. There are a lot of hand crafters throughout the mountains, including linear versions and linear chromatic ones!
@@TWKPixelHeroThese instruments are one of my favorite parts of the NC State fair. Beautiful and unusual instruments, glad there are people keeping the skill of playing them alive.
We have a wonderful shop in Seattle where they let anyone play with them. They are so fun to play around with. Even if you have no musical talent whatsoever, somehow you still feel like you’re making beautiful sounds. If you’re ever visiting Seattle, the shop is called Dusty Strings. They have amazing harps they let you play too and the staff are friendly and passionate about sharing the love of these amazing instruments.
The hammered dulcimer is seriously one of the most beautiful instrumental sounds there is.
This instrument needs to get more representation in the mainstream spotlight. It’s incredibly beautiful and haunting.
This has always been my favorite Carol, too.❤😊
Beautiful rendition of a traditional favorite. Wonderfully done . The instrument suits the merry melody. Thank you for posting .!
Interesting that you describe it as merry, I find it more mysterious and a bit blue. Great performance nonetheless.
@@mtsanriI think the merry sound comes from all of the bells for which this was originally written. I've always thought of bells as being a merry sound also.
Merry? It's straight from hell! In a good way! 😂😂😂
I have not heard a hammered dulcimer in ages. What a pleasant surprise to find this video on RUclips. It has such a wonderfully rich yet light and delicate sound. Thank you for this.
That was just BEAUTIFUL!!! One of my favorite Christmas song! What a special person you are to be able to play such a beautiful sounding instrument! Thank you for sharing & God bless! 👏👏👏👏👏
I’ve LOVED it ever since the first time I heard it on Mackinaw Island!
I enjoy watching the elderly play instruments
Haha… I don’t FEEL very old!
It's amazing the wide latitude for expression that the instrument gives you. The resonance from the strings with the capacity to play quickly that percussion allows... It's really mind blowing.
Nicely stated… what I would have commented, had I the words. 😊
I’m 73 and have never heard of this instrument before!!!This song was beautiful!!!Thank you for sharing!!!❤
I'm 37 and have never heard of YOU before
I think The Beatles used it on a song... 🤔
@@TheMpo1986I’m 15, and I haven’t heard of you.
@@TheMpo1986What a strange comment. XD
Amazing! Carol of the Bells is my favorite Christmas song. The hammered dulcimer lends such a unique sound. ❤
It is so Beautiful, tears fall as that was my momma's song she played piano, every Christmas music surrounded us.
Thank You for the Beauty, and the memories of my Momma❤
You played so beautifully! Thank you for sharing your gift of music. 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Fabulous!
Thank you!
My mother is 86 and has just started taking piano lessons.
I'm sending this to her.
Bravo! Hats off to her! May she live long to enjoy her piano!
There is a tutorial and sheet music on the RUclips channel Pianote. Hats off to your mother from South Africa
Oh, how do I know deep in my bones that I would love your mother!
May she make beautiful music for years and years to come!
This instrument is so enchanting and beautiful to hear thank you for sharing ❤
What a treat! I'm from Tennessee and we all love the music of a dulcimer. You did a fabulous job. Carol of the Bells is one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Merry Christmas and Have a Blessed New Year.🍾 🥂
I first heard the hammer dulcimer while a student at West Virginia University... folks playing during Mountaineer Week. You're a great player of a soul touching instrument. Beautiful!!
When was this? I'm a old grad (1970) of WVU. Don't remember hearing the instrument while there, but I have a hammered dulcimer made in Virginia around 1980 by a friend. Time to get it out and learn some tunes!
I had a friend in the 1970s whose family was from Philippi, and an uncle of his there was one of three people in the whole country that made hammer dulcimers.
Sam Rizzetta made hammered dulcimers in West Virginia, also played in the fabulous folk group Trapezoid.
Nice to see some fellow Mountaineers. Spent a year there on the Ag Science campus studying landscape architecture but decided chemistry was my thing. Finished up at Marshall at home in Huntington, but love WVU and Morgantown. My brother and sister went there for dentistry and English. The PRT was useful but had a tendency to break down when I needed to get to class.
hello fellow Mountaineers! 2014 parks and rec grad here! great school and great times!
My family and I attended a music festival in Branson, Missouri, many years ago and were delighted by a young man playing a hammered dulcimer - my 5-year-old daughter told me that she thought that was probably the instrument the angels play in Heaven. I had to agree. Beautiful rendition of one of my favorite carols!
Absolutely amazing. Beautiful. CAROL OF THE BELLS is one of my few favorite Christmas songs. Looking forward to seeing you play more.
Hah!! Good to know I'm not alone- this is one of my few favorite Christmas songs, as well! I always thought I was alone!😅😅😅
Carol of the bells is perfect for the Hammered Dulcimer!💯 Thank for these interesting combination💟
Carol of the Bells is by far my favorite christmas tune. I ve always been obsessed by how chilling and haunting the melody sounds. So serious, mysterious and dangerous, yet enchanting all the same. I picture a frigid landscape disappearing under a stormy blizzard, any remnants of light struggling to survive in midst of it all. It's like the bells warn you to not take the cold lightly and to not forget how unforgiving winters can be. Incredibly atmospheric!
If you would like to know, the original lyrics to the song are not about christmas at all, its about a Shchedryk ("Bountiful Evening") which is a Ukrainian shchedrivka, or New Year's song, known in English as "The Little Swallow". And about how the little bird is calling out for the master of the house to bring them bountiful luck and good crops
Listening to this on my computer system with my wife and son, while aware that the same song on the same instriment were being heard centuries ago by my ancestors in small rooms across the old world. Timeless. thank you for sharing.
Amazing! Thank you for playing for us ❤
Thank you so much. It's my favorite carol. I reconnect with my family that have passed listening to this song. It's beautiful and healing ❤
I’m SO GLAD you “got” what I was trying to put out there☺️
" The instrument is from the ancient Egypt..an Ukrainian christmas carol..". An amazing and inspiring woman- Merry Christmas for you and worldpeace for everyone 😍🥰🌻🌲🎁🎄☮
My great aunt who lived in Appalachia played a dulcimer. This was so wonderful. Thank you. ❤
I've never seen and never heard anyone playing the Carol of the Bells on such rare and beautiful instrument!.. 😃🤩 It was Manifique, Hypnotising and I would even say so touching! 🥲😌🥰🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 It made me feel indeed incredible by gifting me magical feelings!.... 😍
THANK YOU, DEAR LADY! 👑🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🌹💐🌺🎊🎄🎊

Check out the Hurrian Hymn no 6 from 14th century bc :)
Thank you! Clapping loudly for your beautiful performance. Merry Christmas to you. Maine.
Oh I haven't heard this since I was a kid back in the 1960s.
There was a lady in our neighborhood who played that song every Christmas on one of those. I always thought it was beautiful 🥰
Thank you for the memory 😊
Oh! I’m glad it brought good memories back! It IS a wonderful instrument 🎶

Great use of dynamics. I like your version a lot. Simple and follows the main theme of the song.
That was so lovely! My Daddy made Appalachian Mountain Dulcimers, but they were strummed, not hammered. Wonderful memories, because of your spectacular music! Thank you for sharing!
I haven't found anyone who knows, do you know why both instruments are called dulcimers?
Two entirely different instruments. This was delightful! 12/28/2023

Thank you for sharing. My brother sang with different choirs, and he loved singing this carol. Everytime I hear this carol I recall his enthusiasm in singing it. You did an awesome job in playing it. Thank you.
You and I share similar ideas. Leading up to Christmas, and then also leading up to Easter, I start posting carols and hymns on different instruments to encourage people to focus on the reason for each season, through music. Thanks for sharing your talents.
Love that!
Wow that was amazing! Thank you for sharing such a unique instrument and a talent for playing it. ❤ Hope your Christmas was merry and filled with love and many blessings! ✝️🕊👼
This was always one of my favorite Christmas carols going back to my childhood.
It always reminded me of winter and snowflakes falling.
This Christmas song souuds especially beautiful on the hammered dulcimer.
Wonderful performance.
What a delight. Not just the music, but the musician! I could watch her do this for hours. Cant wait to watch more.
