Sophisticated choice of garment

[@B_rett_B]

Came here for the instrument, stayed for the instrument. But also I like the shirt 👍

[@paulban889]

Emo Shrek is deeply touched. Excellent.

[@Andrew.Spartacus.C.]

😂 love this comment 😂

[@lellowranger]

lmao the nod to hallelujeuh at the end got me real good

[@willscott5841]

It’s crazy how it almost sounds similar to a grand piano when you flip the hammers over. But it also makes sense, knowing how a piano works

[@ARDG89]

That shirt! Hahaha! Good song, well played

[@matthewmaclauchlan1671]

You sharing your talent with us is magical, and we can't thank you enough. Listening to you play the hammered dulcimer brings me back to my younger teenage years when I was absolutely fascinated with medieval history, when there didn't seem to be a care in the world. I had my friends, my hobbies, my passions. My life is by no means bad now - it's great, even. But still...your music never fails to bring me back, however briefly, to those happy times.
Thank you.

Would love to see a RuneScape song on here! Maybe the Old School RuneScape theme, baroque II, or Harmony would be my pick, though Sea Shanty 2 would be a popular Choice

[@bijorno]

Some halo covers would be really unique on this

[@Crusader1984]

I saw his face now I’m a believer!!!

[@DKrog]

How do you make these songs sound better than the originals?!?

[@EvanPlaysDulcimer]

Thanks so much, that means a lot! 🥲

[@twerg45]

having the pretty music on on in the background and then turning to see the shirt you had on did psychic damage LMAO... wonderful

[@nytrodioxide]

One of my favorite songs in Shrek. Wonderful rendition!

[@Acidumnebula]

[@Tythesly83]

Dude needs to play some Runescape music :D

[@willscott5841]

Music is so powerful. And when it’s written so well, wow… sounds great brother! 💪🏼

[@keanu6168]

Amazing work my friend, I would love to hear your cover of the theme song of the first Dishonored game

[@thefrokTV]

I loved learning about instruments I never heard of before !

[@sam_wilds]

I love the hammered dulcimer. It's such an obscure and beautiful instrument. I would love to hear you do some Dishonored music. The original composer (Daniel Licht) for Dishonored used the hammered dulcimer in his music for that game series

[@MrLuk369]

ohh that is just so lovely!

[@nancymolina10195]

Do *castle in the sky* n *Spirit Away* next!!
Those r famous anime movies!

[@thedreamchasers7252]

Just discovered this channel recently and I am blown away. I hope the youtube algorithm blesses you.
This stuff is stellar, subscription earned!

[@SilverWolf941]

This song reminds me of when Charles Barkley called Shaq; "Shrek"!

[@donpetrossi]

Beautiful

[@LovelyHorizons]

Gah I love this so much, I'm tearing up. The tune always meant a lot to me, but on the hammered dulcimer, it sounds even more magical and beautiful 💗

[@kelddai]

I was hoping you'd do this song at some point! One of my favorite versions of it ever, you did awesome! Thanks for sharing your beautiful performances with us :)

[@tomcat2285.]

Age of Empires 2 soundtrack next. Conquers expansion too.

[@madeirafonseca6383]

You need to make recordings people can buy. I know there are copyright issues, but you can record songs that are public domain, or original compositions. Your music is a great soundtrack to have in the background while living life.

[@writerofunimportantthings]

You have a magical talent with this. How long have you been playing? Absolutely spellbinding. 😮

[@michaelkim9993]

Great cover! I would love to hear your interpretation on some BG3 songs 😎

[@oyasumi8626]

I second this!!

[@robloggia]

Thank you for introducing me to this instrument. I had no idea what I'd been missing.

[@TheTabby]

Great cover.
You know a song that just popped into my head that I think would be a great cover for this instrument? Anastasia's Lullaby (Once Upon A December) from Anastasia. I feel like it would be a beautiful rendition.

[@Cyranu]

Absolutely love this cue
Always sad it was
So
Short on the soundtrack

[@garaughty]

Lovely work on this Evan !

[@ethanwilson9406]

So good.

[@Cyrax89721]

Ever heard the Bass Communion piece called 'Drugged 3' ? Would love to hear you take a crack at that one.

[@brandonyoung4910]

[@IMN564]

Thank you!!❤

[@isaiahweatherly7430]

[@KatyeQ]

So beautiful ❤️

[@foxx_plague805]

Can you please play something Breath of the wild/Tears of the kingdom! I love your playing so much!! Such a unique instrument

[@DimentedButterStick]

PLEASE do the Avatar: The Last Airbender Agni Kai theme!!

[@SeymoreTanzarian]

The tone is amazing. Are you guys thinking about making them to sell? Is that a 15/16 5th?

[@EvanPlaysDulcimer]

I’m glad you like the sound. Unfortunately we’re not looking at making them to sell. This was more of a casual one-off project because I needed a new dulcimer and he’s good at woodworking and had the plans. It is a 17/16. Cheers for the love anyhow!

[@bub5156]

Epic. Truly magnificent.

[@faunsolo]

Everything about this video is excellent.

[@avodacado]
