This gets better every time I watch this.

[@MikeThomasMusic]

I’m a piano player and I’ve done this sing for years. But I’ve never heard such a GREAT alternative version of this song. EXCELLENT job and concept!!!

[@harleysship]

I enjoy listening to these guys. Americas got talent, yes it does right there in Tennessee. Thanks guys!

[@jtszabo1691]

This has to be one of my favorite songs. So catchy, soothing, memorable, nostalgic, and I’ve yet to find a cover of it I don’t like

[@BillyDBunny]

One of the best performances I have ever heard.

Mario really found a second career for himself after saving Princess Peach!

[@amackay9108]

sounds like the musical box, at the beginning of Trumpton, opening up..

[@Don27041970]

This is lovely. No bum notesa. It really is sweet. Well played.

[@breech123]

Great!!

[@Connor_Dempsey]

Amazing

[@daverobinson6184]

Very nice

[@susieq2095]

I think I like the sound of the Dulcimer WITHOUT the guitar accompinment

[@alexdubler6533]

I totally agree!!

[@orion8835]

Please shut up the entire thing has a counterpoint.

[@matthewfarmer6830]

Music box dancer by Frank Mills.

[@eloisademorais4900]

Perfeito 😍😍😍

[@dirtyscoundrel2013]

Cool

[@train4905]

Wow

[@fleischsalatcomedy9816]

The guitar sounds missplaced but the duclimer is awesome

[@arnoldlitke5084]

WOW super nice!!!! Now I know this song can sound good on any instrument !!!! It looks like you used two monkey wrenches which is a good choice, I'm also amazed at how many people around the world love Frank Mill's song : The Music Box Dancer. I was very lucky to have seen him live in my dumb small town Prince Rupert BC Canada back in 1988. Oh what a show it was.😎😎😎😎😎😎👍👍🥇🎩🎩🎩🥇🎵🎵🎶🎶🇨🇦

[@EduardRitok]

that G string is slightly sharp , but very interesting ! very nice to listen to :)))

[@kenkolodner]

Not every HD player uses the drag roll this frequently. Another effective use of a drag is to drag across the valley from the right treble to bass bridge (sometimes called a valley roll). This player is primarily using a "right hand lead". Another approach would be to put the entire melody in your left hand (left hand lead). This opens up the right side of the instrument up for more chord accompaniment and bass runs (the bass bridge is on the right). Equality hands is a great goal!

[@alonrosa8497]

muito bom ótimo.

[@yaxhacruz]

It sounds like the ice cream truck

[@kevlec1947]

Wow .

[@alexpalmer1154]

BETTER THAN EXCELLENT

[@franzwirzaus8307]

Did you guys transcribe this on your own or did you have sheet music, and if yes, which one?
I play the hammered dulcimer as well and would love to learn this!

[@EdwardGoodman]

I don't know if Tim has the music for this particular arrangement available or not, but you can call him at 865-223-7648 to see. You can also E-mail him at [e-mail].
Thanks for watching!

[@tcs329]

Thanks Edward...but this Music Box Dancer is not AKA Nadia's theme. Nadia's theme is the song from "They Young and the Restless".

[@marecanine]

Nadia's Theme as played by Henry Mancini does not even come close to sounding like this. This is very nice piece however!

[@ajriding]

I'm enjoying watching. I'm a drummer so noticing the sticking on all the players. Right hand leads and plays the melody (like a piano), the left is just brought in when needed and for that drag roll. Whats up with the drag roll, it is in everyone's music? Why isn't the RLRL sticking used for the hammer dulcimer? Seems a lot of right hand. A marimba player uses both hands equally, just curious is this more of a piano method than a percussion method?

[@CHICAdeISLA]

Where can you get the sheet music for the hammered dulcimer version of this song?

[@alexdubler6533]

I hear some boo-boos, and I think it's from the guitar player. The dulcimer sound is AWESOME!!

[@alexdubler6533]

A little sloppy, but the sound is GOOD!

[@EstherMHeart]

Die Gitarre hätte es nicht gebraucht dazu..

[@Vinterfrid]

Good performance but terrible filming!

[@dykesbe]

Super Mario really knows how to play that thing.
