WE GETTING MAULED WITH THIS ONE🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥
💂🏻♂️-type beat
I've always heard the British version as; I'm lonesome since I crossed the hill, And o'er the moor and valley, Suchy grievous thoughts my heart do fill, Since parting with my Sally I seek no more the fine or gay, for each does but remind me How swift the hours did pass away With the Girl I left behind me.
Oh Ne'er Shall I Forget The Night The Stars were bright above me , and lay their silvery gentle light when she first vowed to love me. But now I'm bound to Brighton Camp Kind Heaven , And Pray Guide Me And Send me safely back again to the girl I left behind me!
Hello! Thank you for the info. One question, did you lower all strings to make it easier to move the bridge?
@@richardgiadrosich6813 great question! We don’t actually loosen any strings, the bridge will still be able to move with the right amount of force.
I'm lome since across the hill and all the more Andy. such grevious thoughts my heart fill parting with my Sally,I seek no more fine or gay reached but remind me how swifly hours it pass away with a girl I left behind me, oh n shall forgot the night the stairs bright above me and gently lent their sil light she voved to love me, and now I'm bound to bright and camp kind heaven then pray guide me and send be saferly back again to the girl I left behind me

Dios los bendiga, donde puede encontrar este instrumento?
I'm sorry, I can't even make it past the Hendrix thing. that tone made bagpipe music sound angelic! As for the rest of the tones, I play guitar too. I'm an accessory nut. love all kinds of dulcimers, but in this case less is more. just because you could, doesn't mean you should. i think i'll keep an eye on your channel. i hope you can show me some new vids that will change my mind. i'd love to hear some compelling reasons to use effects, otherwise, I think I'll stick to using a humbucker-style pickup with a coil split into a clean channel. Maybe a slight hall effect for some of the slower deeper clasics.
Had a hammered dulcimer, 6 and 12 string guitar stolenand the one's who bought them have all passed 😢😊
G&B NEW INSTRUMENT UPDATE 🔥
Oh my, I really want one . How much are they. I just saw one at a church, and it sounds great.
Thank you very much! This model starts at $675: songbirdhd.com/product/14-13-6-7-voyageur-hammered-dulcimer/ We also have less expensive and more expensive models.
You brushed off the sound box, but even on an electric setup you need the tone generated in the box.
I just bought a 16/15 from songbird. Chris did phenomenal. First time ever trying one, and it isn't hard to pick up. Songbird did fantastic, highly recommend
Very kind of you to say!! Much appreciated, and so happy to hear you’re loving your 16/15 Phoebe hammered dulcimer! :)
