Beautiful, eastern style dulcimer playing (Seagull Merlin) Listen to my album Nada Brahma on Spotify 

Thank you so much. Maybe in the future teaching online😉

Great idea!!

@@speeluh I find I can even bend the double string well enough to get a phyrgian dominant sound and play the riff from Malaguena. Actually the reason I pulled the trigger on the merlin in the first place was because someone pointed out to me that with diatonic fretting the capo would change the mode. You also have lydian in open position by playing on the inner string.

Thank you😊

Thank you so much 🙏

Thank you very much Sebastian. Greetz from Holland.

Ooh, that's sneaky. Thanks! I hadn't noticed and it had me on the verge of placing an order.

@@toadstooltarot yeah me 2

@@toadstooltarot I mean, still consider it. Check out some of the other Seagull Merlin videos. The instrument still has much to speak for it. You just can't do this out of the box.

Useful! Just bought one and have already found some missing semitones irritating. This makes me consider getting it refretted...I like the sound of the instrument, amazing for the price.

More like a ukulele than a guitar…

Thank you for your comment.

Thank you so much! 🙏🙏

I believe it’s C B C C

Good to hear the instrument inspires you. This one is customized with a chromatic neck. Have fun with your new dulcimer

The one you get from the store will not be able to play these notes with fretboard modification.

Thank you 🙏🕉️

Can you recommend me any musicians who play this instrument? Thanks!

Well: make it chromatic. More fun!

@@speeluh I will once I get some money to have it done haha

Thank you very much Sarah. 😊

That's correct. I let it customize to a chromatic scale. I got bored just playing major😉

@@speeluh it's a pity I'm so far. I'd like to have some classes from you.

Thank you for your question. The instrument is derived from the Irish dulcimer and played with an Arabic vibe. 😉

This modification was done by guitar builder Frank de Haan in the Netherlands.

@@speeluh hoeveel kostte je dat? Het klinkt fantastisch!

@@merijn9602 hoi Merijn, ik dacht dat dat rond de €60,- kostte

Is it just the modification, or how do you get the almost close sitar sound? How did you tune the strings? Normally the Seagul sounds more like a banjo.

​@@ambiencekeys5100 . C#3 G#3 C#4 C#4. Fifth and octave. It can be heard in 3:32.

Thank you. Well....i can't remember. 2 x AKG C414 or 2 x Neumann KM184.

Thank you! Maybe coming months something new😉

Hi Sam, just adding extra frets. 😉

@@speeluh Cool! Thank you. :)

I don't know the exact measurements where to place the frets. Someone else did this for me.

Is there a way I could have your same guy modify mine? Send it to him and pay for it?

I think it's much cheaper for you to find a guitar customizer/builder in your own town. I live in the Netherlands. Frank de Haan customized it for me.

@@speeluh okay yeah I just saw that, thanks for reply:)

@@jerredchouseman, you can listen to the track Akasha on Spotify if you like. It's recorded with the dulcimer. Let me know what you think😉. open.spotify.com/track/2sL0IA5fUgrzP3rgkaidcC?si=ErawqBEhRROPKmTCSauHsg

Nope lol

Thank you. I think it's d-a-d or c-g-c

@@speeluh thanks a Lot. 👍😀And thanks for your great music.
