Thread Name: Big hammered dulcimer
Subject: RE: Big hammered dulcimer
I love the sound of a hammered dulcimer !! It"s quite rare to hear one---I think I have only ever seen five players "in the flesh".There"s a really nice man from Devon who goes to Miskin,but I don"t know his name !!Then there is Chris Coe, of course---I have seen her at play at Sidmouth.Also at Sidmouth, I saw my personal favourite, Walt Michael. Then there"s Clive Jennings,down in the Poole area ( He"s very good ) and last,but not least, Jim Couza, who I saw at a "country fair " at Kingston Lacey house,near Wimborne.
What instrument was it that they seemed to use for so many "Spy movies" in the 60s & 70s ?? There is also some nice playing on a CD I heard of "Deep Forest "-----Any thoughts on that ???
