At :53 I hit the sped up version of the song. I played this one with flat pick and am using a mountain dulcimer that has a rich, even, but somewhat more mellow tone. I also made sure to incorporate a lot of different techniques in this version. If you have questions, leave a comment below, and I'll try to answer. Or check out learn.dulcimer... to learn more about how to play a lap dulcimer

Only thing I can think of is that they clicked dislike by mistake or they are just jealous of his talent. It's a wonderful performance and I aspire to reach this level of playing ability.
It's a real shame that anyone would dislike this video. I'd like to see them play any instrument as masterfully as Stephen plays this
Never know a mountain dulcimer could sound so good!
At last, someone who plays it fast like I do! :)
Mamma Maybelle would be smiling to hear this!
It’s people like you that keep me coming back to UA-cam. Thank you
Never get enough of his masterful dulcimer...twang me to heaven
We just lost Jean, yesterday.
92 years young...
She gave dulcimers to the world.
Encouraged me to continue with my Raymond Layne 3 string.
She said that I didn't HAVE to chord it, summer of 1977 at out Old Town School.
I still don't..
But this version IS beautiful, chorded...
I love listening to everyone play. I have a 6 string I am just learning on. It is an awesome instrument for older people.
Sandra Clifton hows the practice coming along?
Yeah, how is the practice coming along?
@@positivevibes4646 I'm in my 60's and just learning too. It's not as easy as I hoped, but it keeps my mind busy.
I love watching all your videos 😊 new player here.
I've never seen anyone else hold the dulcimer like you do, but it totally makes sense when you're doing all of that fret work. Awesome, and so inspiring. I'm totes gonna have to get my dulc out more often and work on this.
very beautiful
WOW !!!!

Excellent en musique folk . Quelle vélocité ! Chapeau bas.
I adore the mountain dulcimer! Which is why I requested one for Christmas in 2017.
I came here looking to find some new songs to learn on my dulcimer and realize you’re the same guy who I’ve seen commenting on Concertina videos. Funny to see you here too. I recently bought a concertina and waiting for it to arrive. Hope you got your dulcimer alright!
@@laika6661 I did, there's even two videos of me playing my dulcimer on UA-cam.

was using this as a referance for a college study guide, now i cant stop watching it, AWESOME!!
I was sitting here all alone, and found myself applauding by the end of the video
I impulsively clapped after you ended this one. Some gifts you got Stephen, look forward to hearing more! Brilliant and felt!!
Wow! I've long loved this instrument, and you've just demonstrated why. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
I think even Mozart might have been jealous of the sheer beauty of this music.
This was extremely encouraging for me! To take a simple song, and to turn it into such a magnificient work of art. Truly outstanding.
Beautiful! So excited about the upcoming Three Day Intensive in Alexandria, VA!
Wow, very unique version of Wildwood flower.
Maybe one day... ! Great job!!
Amazing, thanks!
I’m clapping with big ol smiles on my face!!!! Thank you!
I love this so much I don't have words to describe it
Relaxing
Smooth as butter!

Love your playing, Stephen! I'm from Mtn View, have a 3-string I built from a McSpadden kit in 1967. Only hangs on the wall these days, but you've made me want to get it down and give it another go. Thanks!
Very impressive !!!!
Wow! What a beautiful technique you've worked out. Thank you.
I love this version!
that's fantastic. I've never seen this instrument before, but you sure know how to make it sing.
Excellent!
Just plain good toe tapping music. Best

You are awesome man,
that was excellent man!
Very nice
My favorite mountain Diddy!😊
I have a McSpadden (walnut, scroll head, hourglass shape) and it's lovely.
absolutely great! i'd like to know more about the wood, and also the one who made this instrument :) what a great player!
Hey Stephen! I saw you preform with the Brevard Symphony. And you have inspired me to learn how to play the Mountain Dulcimer! Thank you :)
Mil Gracias, Vielen Danks!, Thanks!
So hip!
@miniraptorX It's probably the easiest string instrument to learn. People in their 70s with no musical experience can be playing pleasant tunes within a few days. Playing as well as Stephen does, however, requires both talent and a lifetime of dedication.
Have you ever played a Mcspadden? There's something crisp, clean, and easy about them. Something proffesional. Mcspadden's is a wonderful brand, and if you want a well rounded instrument, Mcspadden or Blue Lion is where I turn.
This is a McSpadden. That was a GREAT dulcimer.
Wicked!
That's eastern Canadian for "awesome"!
Cliff Seruntine hehe that's also what it means in southern Californian
And New Englander.

😊
So very pretty!
Great playing!! Could u put a video of you playing the Tennesee Waltz on here please?? Tks.
I should! I can't believe I haven't. There's probably a video on UA-cam of me playing it, but I haven't found it, yet. I'll add this to my someday/maybe list.
Whoo hoo!! Nice embellishing!!
Subscribed.
Beautiful. I'm thinking about starting to play. One of my grandmother's friends made one and I want to play it more often. Stephen, are they a lot of fun to play on?
For sure! Not to hard to get started. You can be making fun music in no time.
I'm trying to play this one on a fretless old time banjo...
;-)
thanks ;-)
Val
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can always count on Steve to forget my little worries
McSpadden does'nt give you their instruments? I would. "Hello Mr.Seifert, today we have a fine selection from custom koa to our six string baritone." HAHAHAH!
Thanks, I look forward to meeting you in Townsend in Nov.. I would also like to take your class.
