    Very sweet. Not much room in the music industry for something like this though... It's really sad actually...

    Pretty cool sounding percussion instrument, snazzy song. Don't see what's so fast about it, but his accuracy is amazing.

    don't be too sure, it would make great ambient or background music for a resturaunt or a cafe and could work very well in the right movie soundtrack. i find it very soothing to listen to and that is a marketable trait.

    I'd totally buy a CD of that to chill out to.

    Really pretty. Sounds a lot like Patrick Newman's music (Road to Perdition, American Beauty, Finding Nemo). IMO this guy could get work doing music for documentaries or movies or something..

    It looks cool and fun, but is dramatic, middle-eastern sounding music the only thing dulcimer's can play? Maybe a happy piano-ee piece? It sounds complex, but I don't feel that it is organized.

    Yeah, I think his compositions could use a little more direction but I still really like it. Most hammered dulcimers have a full chromatic scale I think, so there isn't any limit to what you could play on them. They are used a lot in Appalachian music.

    It's actually a string instrument. Kind of like opening up a piano and directly hitting the strings.
