    Steve: Great job! I particularly like the way you stop and hold position while the rest of us catch up. Very helpful. Excellent camera angle for teaching.

    Loved this video. I like the players' perspective as it helps one to learn. I'm new to the dulcimer scene, so now I want one of these too. We're gonna need a bigger house. ;-)

    Ever since hearing the 2nd movement of Blackberry Winter, I've been curious about what this thing looked like and how it played! I don't know why it took me so long to check youtube for this stuff! I guess it's because the instruments you play seem so distant temporally that it just doesn't exist in the same realm of my brain as youtube :)

    The Tennessee music box is the easiest kind of dulcimer to build, not to mention the second most expensive one after the hammered version.

    Hey Stephen, is there anyway I could get some dimensions from Don or you on the wood used and stuff like spacing of the fence staples and such. I would love to attempt one of these myself as I do replica working at a local historical area here in NC and this looks quite easy and enjoyable. And I also know enough hunters that a quill will be no problem. Thanks again!

    Don Neuhauser is really making some fine diatonic replicas.
    How did you get such outstanding fidelity uploaded to RUclips? At 1080p it's like being in a soundproofed studio.

      If I understand your question correctly, they are i-screws for tuners. The kind like you'd find on an old screen door.

    In the 1880's steel strings, of a light enough gage for hand strummed instruments, were not yet really available, so with gut strings, this would have sounded very different. Steel strings do not really become common until the early 20th century following WW1.

    • @stephenseifert
      @stephenseifert  3 года назад +1

      There's no evidence these were played with gut strings. There was metal wire available in 1880 as far as I know. I know there was piano wire, for instance.
