- This clip features National Hammered Dulcimer Champion, Mark Alan Wade, on hammered dulcimer. I play on a Dusty Strings D650 [on this] and a Cloud Nine 17/16/8. Under the dulcimer track is a soft strings synth pad for warmth and added bass. This is one song (played live here) from my Christmas CD, Silver Bells. Check out my website for the sheet music to this and for my Christmas CD and instructional books. www.markalanwade.com
Mark earned his Doctorate of Musical Arts degree in trumpet performance at The Ohio State University. If you enjoy my playing, visit my website and "like" my page on FaceBook: "Mark Alan Wade, Musician"

How have I not seen this before. Wow. Fantastic. Such a great job on my favorite Christmas song. Actually gave me chills. So beautiful!
Wow. Thanks! You should hear the newer version on my channel too!
This rendition gave me chills! Thank you for sharing this timeless music.
This song always makes me cry, and when played on such a beautiful instrument, the feeling is even more intense. Thank you.
I’ve always enjoyed music from the dulcimer, as well as other instruments. ‘O Holy Night’ is my most favorite Christmas music! You play this very well on the dulcimer! Thank 🙏🏼 you for sharing with us all! 🥲😍👏🏼👏🏼🌺🌲🌺😁🙋🏻♀️
I never tire of listening to this. I hope some day to learn half of what Mark Alan Wade has forgotten about the Dulcimer.
The music went right through me! Beautifully done👏
Thanks for listening everyone! Please help me out by giving this video thumbs up so it appears higher up in searches on google and youtube. And if you'd like, leave me a note here or on my FB page: Mark Alan Wade, Musician.
Breathtaking ❣i am speechless 😊
I just cannot get enough of your music! I have dreamed for at least 25 years of learning to play a hammered dulcimer. Absolutely beautiful to my ears.
Tena Wallace Aw. Thanks! It’s never too late to learn to play. Check out my website and message me from there and I can suggest some great beginner instruments. You’ll love it!
Go ahead and splurge! I did at 86 years of age. It is fun, pretty, and what's wrong with music. Answer--- absolutely NOTHING! NO ELECTRICITY NEEDED! and you don't have to look at the strings after a little practice. Love it!!
That dulcimer sounds so deep and rich....is stunningly beautiful!
Never heard such wonderful bass notes from a dulcimer before. Adds something special.
i love this version it made me cry i love o holy night its one of my favorite christmas songs
Nice!! Very nice 👍🏽!! Thank you! For sharing your gift 🎁!!
I just had to listen again this morning. If I am not mistaken, I asked if you play O Holy Night about 5 years ago when I first discovered your music on UA-cam. Oh my goodness, this brings such memories back to me from my childhood. Thank you for highlighting my Christmas Season this year. I appreciate it. Just Beautiful!

Thank you for this! Regards from Argentina!
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful
Tearing up its so beautiful
Heavenly
Wow I gave up on the piano, maybe I should learn hammered dulcimer, it looks easier and sounds great!
I'd love to hear "Carol of the Birds," on hammer dulcimer, too.
Superb.
beautiful!
If only hammered Dulcimers were a more common instrument. I 'd already be playing it here in college. I want to learn every instrument. I already play strings and percussion. Now, I'm learning flute as my 1st wind instrument, but I won't be leaving this wonderful instrument out of the list. Congratulations on mastering your talents to the real world. One question. How are the notes arranged on this instrument?
Excellent!!
Deep and rich!
As a HD player myself, I stand in admiration of your technique, phrasing, lovely chording, and sensitive interpretation of this piece. Nicely done! You said there is a "soft strings synth pad for added bass"...is that something added in post-production, or something you play simultaneously like with a foot pedal as you're playing the HD? I've been trying to add bass to my HD playing for some time now, but cannot find any instrument or foot-pedal setup with which to do that.
Thanks!
Dusty Strings!

The synthesized string bed that I added was done after I recorded the dulcimer track. I recorded the dulcimer track live with the video camera and with microphones. After I imported the video, I played along to the audio track on my synthesizer and then combined the audio of the synthesizer to the audio from the original video for what you hear in this recording. so to answer some questions on this video in short, there's no way to do this live as a solo performer that I know of.
WOW...TO PLAY AS WELL AS YOU...:)))
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹
Bonjour comment se nomme cet instrument. Je ne connais pas 🤔
did you know that the piano comes from the hammered dulcimer??
Is the hammered dulcimer difficult to learn to play?
Mark do you have an arrangement of this? I recently got a Michael Allen 17/16/9 and would like to learn how to use the ultra bass.
Pam s - Yes I do. I sell it on my website: MarkAlanWade.com.
Can you play sound of silence by simon & garfunkel
very nice and also nice to play as a Solist. But I guess it is not esay or learned in no time :)
the sound is very similar to the piano
+Dj Perseus That would make sense since a piano is hammers on tuned metal strings. :)
how are your superbass strings tuned? from bottom
Pam s : A1, B1, D2, E2, F2, F#2, G2, C3, F3
Traumhaft schön 😍💕
