“Amazing instrument in the right hands.”

I have only heard recorded performances, some of which sounded like virtuoso piano works.

A damsel with a dulcimer
In a vision once I saw;
It was an Abyssinian maid,
And on her dulcimer she played,
Singing of Mount Abora.

I’ve seen a handful of excellent players. Actually, Bruce Hornsby played on one of his tunes, including during live performance years ago, I think it’s “The Red Plains”. I saw him do it the first time I saw him years ago, but, uh, disclaimer because of failing memory. :^o
