aren't they fabulous?! Came in and knocked that out in maybe 2 takes.

You are right John, it is our deluxe

thanks John

Def check it out! High energy, sad despite the tempo, I’m a sucker for that sort of thing. The crowd feedback creation explained on song Exploder is pretty interesting if you’re into that sort of thing!

really appreciate that feedback Stefan, keeps me wanting to create more content.

I will let them know!

They are pretty fabulous… and Tyler nailed it well as well can be (on a dulcimer, not ukulele)

@@michealnotmichael6595 it my Cumberland River Guitar, we just released ☀️

It’s my new line of River Guitars and Dulcimers heyinglewood.com/collections/the-cumberland Have a gander, jump in the mailing list, etc! Discount on the preorders for list folks!

Sir you are a gentleman and a scholar and I look very much forward to meeting you online and getting your you Cumberland asap!!

The Merlin’s have 7 frets so they can cover all the notes in an octave. The Cumberlands have 12 frets, with a “6.5” fret (flat 7th on the scale), and then the 4 notes above the octave mark (repeating the notes of the previous octave) Does that help?

Well, it is what it is, I suppose, and why it’s a pretty inexpensive instrument. Have you seen the Cumberland model I released this week? This is a good addendum to what you’re saying: ua-cam.com/video/p6QgzZAlr0U/v-deo.html

It really is!

@@wolfharbinger thanks so much

Yes, technically a Merlin is a dulcimer guitar 😎 I just released my own line you might find interesting: heyinglewood.com/collections/the-cumberland

heyinglewood.com/collections/the-cumberland

Seagull M4 is $150 or $210 with built in pick up and tuner. This is over $1000 with nothing.

True, but, as mentioned, while they fill a similar musical function, they are not the same tier, and as such they aren’t the same price. I enjoy the Merlins for what they are, but after a few years it was clear a more precision instrument was required so I designed it, and now there are quality options… maybe not for everyone, but nothing really is, right? Hopefully we’ll be able to offer another tier later next year, so stay tuned. Thx! 😉

@@HeyInglewood Yes yours are 5 time's the price of any on the market now and from an unknown manufacturer. Most dulcimers are made for to help everyday people to have something they can sound good playing. Yours is priced outside the range of the average person who buys this. For a first run you should have kept it lower tier to build a fan base then higher priced later. You just cut off more than half your potential consumers especially with the economy so bad where people are struggling to buy groceries and gas.

Wow, thank you! I am rather proud of it!

You’re welcome 😊 they really did a great job didn’t they?!

Thanks!! Hope it's helpful!

If you mean scale length, it's 21".... if you mean the musical scale, it's mostly D major. Strings are tuned DAD, and it's fretted to be in the key of D. Technically you can get the key of G out of it as well, but with the DAD tuning it's better to think of G as a secondary (so to speak).

On Sept 24... on launch day

Id love to buy the guitar fretted one. Sadly, my budget doesnt allow me to. You have really thought this thing out. Hats off to you, Sir. 👍

I'd like to get the guitar version

And coincidentally, I would like for you to get one! 😉

Glad you think so! They totally nailed it. And Tyler picked up the instruments for the first time only about 20 minutes before this was recorded!!🤯

Similar, but not quite! They're both based on the mountain dulcimer, but the construction methods are fully different. The Strumstick being the most known version of a stick dulcimer, I went ahead and broke down the details between the two. Hope it's helpful! ua-cam.com/video/c7ct4uop7y4/v-deo.html

Rock on! Just make sure you’re on that list! heyinglewood.com/pages/join-the-preorder-waitlist

Quite a while, in fact!! ☺️😜🥳 I guess it’s a little of the “old made new” kind of thing?

Hi - we do have Brad playing on our channel - go and have a listen

Here it is! ua-cam.com/video/GR-Nlmkrpjk/v-deo.html

🙈

Yuuuup, heard. Makes me feel young person feels.

Eva Cassel, “Somebody Else” - full version on the channel!

Idk why else to say

Nothing else needed… she killed it. One take. I think we took a second for safety and it was equally flawless. Full version is somewhere in UA-cam 🥳😎

Thanks! Glad you found it helpful! I recently designed my own version you may want to be aware of, too: heyinglewood.com/pages/join-the-preorder-waitlist

Thanks!!

And his main instruments are actually bass and cello!

@@HeyInglewood Hes a good all rounder. I can play bass, drums and guitar, and the dulcimer. I have a small problem with my dulcimer. When its tuned, as you go up the neck, it starts to go out of tune slightly. It gets sharper. You havnt got an adjustable bridge on a dulcimer. I have a D tuned dulcimer. 🎸🎶

Yep, that’s a byproduct of their neck and Fretboard designs, almost definitely. Is the exact problem I was having such a frustrating time with on existing Instruments , and what are most wanted to correct for on the Cumberland!! And we achieved it!

@@HeyInglewood You did it with thecumberland.?

Yeah, they kinda crushed it. I didn’t know what they were doing until they arrived. Amazing.

Thanks for listening… I will let them know!!

Agreed!!! There’s a lot of (welcome) similarities… they both have gorgeous voices, don’t they?

You got it! Already working it up!! Hopefully ready by next week… subscribe if not already, keep an eye out 👀

I screenshot this and sent to Eva… got a lot of ❤️ back. Give her a follow on the various platforms… I think it’s just a matter of time before she’s a household name. ☺️

It’s actually both! There are two tiers, the deluxe and the players edition, and both can come in fully fretted, or traditional Dulicmer fretted

@@HeyInglewood thanks.

Played great first tho!!

Of course!! Reflecting…. It’s probably good I didn’t realize you were going to make something for me when I sent it to you… I’d have gotten shy and declined, I think. It’s crazy to think of someone doing that for you. ☺️

Do you mean the purpleheart or a bass Cumberland River Dulcimer? For the first, it'll just depend on your locale. I can get it at the local lumber store (but kinda mid/high grade lumber, like where you buy cabinet++ stuff). StewMac (maybe) and Woodcraft (definitely) would have it in the sizes you need though. If for a River Dulcimer, we won't have a bass version for a while yet. :(

@@HeyInglewood Purpleheart as illustrated in the video. I'm in Brooklyn, New York. It appears in the video the fretboard is set up for LED's. I could be wrong

@@HeyInglewood Just searched on StewMac and they have no slotted Purpleheart fingerboards

You know, I feel the same! 😉

​@HeyInglewood I am ready to get at least one...been patiently waiting.

Right? Very impressed. They just walked in and did 3 songs and walked out. 45 min tops, and Tyler was playing them for the first time. Blew my mind.

Jim! After putting videos + videos into the void it’s so encouraging to hear that they are helping! Many many of the songs on our channel can be played with 1 finger (most either detail or touch on that point). “Jolene” is another really easy one to tackle, if you’re looking. 2 frets total!!

@HeyInglewood Thank you! I will try to tackle that! Just one more question please, is there a trick to holding down all four strings at once? For making a bar chord? I have a lot of trouble with that. If I try to do very many other chords my fingers can't seem to reach everything....any suggestions? thank you again

It would be hard to describe here, and wo seeing your hand positions, but there is a way I recommend… (this is where I plug my paid chord guide 😜 heyinglewood.com/collections/downloads) But essentially you have to get your hand around so your knuckles are parallel with the neck… that would mean when you lay your finger on the fingerboard, it would be a somewhat natural motion, not awkward, bending and everything… But getting your left-hand around to be parallel like that, not choked up holding it the neck like it’s a baseball bat, is what can be uncommon unusual for people. I also suggest trying to make sure your thumb is about the centerline of the back of the neck. Imagine you were trying to touch your thumb to your middle finger, with as much space in between as possible in that area between your thumb and your middle finger, and then pin the neck in between. There should be some space, air, between your palm and the neck. Again, this is very difficult to describe in a UA-cam comment.!!

@HeyInglewood Thank you for taking the time to explain that.I will try this, and if I can't get it, maybe we will do a one-on-one visit. Thanks.

Sounds good Jim!

Ha! I’m glad to be of service! ☺️
