Bach’s prelude to cello suite, played on the hammered dulcimer

This video was inspired by Ted Yoder’s version of this song. I started learning this song about three to four weeks ago, and it is definitely the hardest song I have ever played. My hammers are the 12.6 gram harlequin bob Bedard hammers by wolf hill wood working, because I know someone will ask. Thank you for watching!

might wanna tune that

[@KylerHD]

yeah. I tuned it two days before because i was on a tight schedule, next time i will refrain from the cutting of corners. thank you.

[@SittingComfortably]

That tune really works well.

[@KylerHD]

thank you.

[@williamjglover]

Now play it when the dulcimer is sober

[@rupertmiller9690]

I liked it but my dog woke up and looked at me with a "Nah, fam, we're not doing that." attitude. She's a cranky old lady, so I'll finish this one up later when she's out in the yard patrolling for squirrels.

thank you, and I wish you dog luck.

I'd be curious about the sound with a felted hammer...
Also it seems like some strings are out of tune

[@KylerHD]

yes, some strings are out of tune a little, sadly my instrument wasn’t played by the previous owner for I believe twenty years or so before I got it, so my sound board is warped and my treble bridge needs to be reset. thank you for watching.

@@KylerHD Hey, a little out of tune but certainly not bad for 20 years of no attention! It gives a bit of a haunting quality.

[@KylerHD]

thanks.

[@kinderoffender]

Never heard of that instrument before, but it sounds really nice

[@KylerHD]

That's pretty epic. Why is your room so dark though..

[@KylerHD]

Special effects, and a black sheet.🙃
