Sweet Child of Mine - Hammer Dulcimer 

The versatility of the hammered dulcimer is amazing

This is definitely my favourite way to hear that song. Theres a long tradition of finding music you appreciate and reinterpreting it to add something of yourself... The dulcimer is so delicate and ethereal but sets out the template for the way this tune is going to go and also provides the heart of the song, at times when the notes climb upwards it sends a chill down my spine. An unusual and unfamiliar instrument played by a true musician. Total class.

I mean how are people so talented? This is amazing...I am useless LOL

I mean... it sounds like something that you hear in heaven

How does this only have just under 60,000 views? It should have millions!

this version is amazing

Hands moving as perfect as the wheels on a music box, even better. Absolutly awesome! Thank you for sharing.

This fellow is AWESOME on the hanmer dulcimer ❤❤ 👍👍👍 Thank you for the beautiful music 👍

I love how different and unique the hammer dulcimer makes known songs sound.

You have mastered that instrument. So cool...

Love that sound ❤

This gives the instrument new relevance. Playing tunes like this will encourage younger people to take up the instrument since they won't feel they'll be stuck playing old Irish tunes.

man is shredding

I’m OBSESSED with the triplet tremolo accents. Goddamn this instrument is amazing

I wouldn't give a plug nickel for the original song, but this instrumental rendition almost makes it a completely different piece! Thanks for uploading this.

awesome work

It’s like a harp had a baby with a xylophone and it chose to ignore it’s classical heritage and play soft rock that would make a guitar cheer. 😮

Workin it..blessings..

sooo good!!

Wow love it!

awesome

Awesome..just subscribed 💯👏👏👏

Superb, is it all dulcimer, it sounds almost like there is a strummed guitar or mandolin rhythm but maybe that is just as a string instrument?

Very nice indeed. Do you have any recommendations on the best way to learn and is it easier or harder than the piano or guitar for instance?

Where are you located? Would love to hire you for my friend’s wedding

❤❤❤

This guy (I suppose Tim Simek) is amazing on his hammered dulcimer. Unfortunately, the timsimek.com website does not exist anymore.

👏👏👏👏

Lindo. Como compro um desse?Brasil

Where did you get your dulcimer? I want one, but I can’t find one with the notes written on it like the one you have.

Go Vols!

Are there video lessons for this? So beautiful

Wow pretty
