Thunder on the Rails - CB dulcimer demo

I wrote this new folk tune on this cigar box dulcimer I made. The box is a large retail display box for cigars, poplar neck, oak fingerboard. Played acoustically. Tuned DGD.

Thank you Bruce! The song pretty much wrote itself on the dulcimer, I just went with the flow :)

That is cool Richard, I grew up in the Youngstown area.

Thank you AGP, dulcimers can be a nice change of pace. Both playing and for building.  :)

I know what you mean Richard, there are a lot of bum-bitty playing of dulcimers which turn me off too. Thanks for the kind comments!

Thank you UJ! The song definitely came from the dulcimer. I like when a new instrument writes a song for me.

Thank you Dave. I was happy the volume came out. I used the bottom of the box for the top since the lid was so thick, but you still never know. :)
