OK Insane Beard, so your fire is bigger than mine! Na Na ne Na Na! :-)

Interesting video - great job.

"very difficult to dampen, though, when amplified"

Yes, I agree Will, we played a live spot on a radio prob recently & the sound guy had never seen a HD before, & decided to give it loads of echo ... when we heard the broadcast later, the Dulcimer sounded horror-endous!

Sorry to hear that Catspaw, I hope your health issues are fully resolved soon & you get back to those Dulcimer parts, soon.

"The playing is good and clean and I personally think the HD suits Scottish music very well."

Thanks Zen. Yes, I personally don't like cluttering up the music on the HD. That's why I only play SLOW Reels, plus Marches, Planxtys, Jigs & Hornpipes.

"Are you based in Scotland? (I am in Perthshire)"

Sorry no, I'm a few miles from the Giant's Causeway, in Ulster. Spent years in Grantown on Spey, Fyvie, Aberdeen & Brechin, so I know that part of the country quite well though.

Yes leeneia, I know all that fast flying around the instrument looks spectacular, especially some of those Eastern European Cimbalom players, but quite frankly, all that rattling, jangling & banging does little for my ears.

When it comes to ye olde HD I always think less is more.

Cheers
Dick
