Carol of the Bells- December 2023

Willow Movie Theme / Nelwyn Village Dance by Andrew Broadwater

Met this guy at the Lac Ste Claire art fair today. Super nice guy and he plays fantastic music on the tsimbaly (hammer dulcimer). Bought a couple of his albums. You should check it out. Amazing to watch him play. He can make that thing sound like a piano or a harpsichord, or a number of other instruments. So fricking cool. http://tsimbaly.com/

The cimbalom is a type of chordophone composed of a large, trapezoidal box with metal strings stretched across its top. It is a musical instrument commonly found in the group of Central-Eastern European nations and cultures, namely contemporary Hungary, Croatia, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It is also popular in Greece and gypsy music. The cimbalom is (typically) played by striking two beaters against the strings. The steel treble strings are arranged in groups of 4 and are tuned in unison. The bass strings which are over-spun with copper, are arranged in groups of 3 and are also tuned in unison. The Hornbostel-Sachs musical instrument classification system registers the cimbalom with the number 314.122-4,5.[1] Moreover, the instrument name “cimbalom” also denotes earlier, smaller versions of the cimbalom, and folk cimbaloms, of different tone groupings, string arrangements, and box types.

There are many times when I shock myself with my own useless knowledge like there’s no predicting what will come out of my mouth next XD
