My wife and I used to go to a Hungarian restaurant across the river, in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, called the Blue Danube. They had a young man that would play this instrument in the evening on the weekends. It wasn't a fancy place, but the owners were very nice, the food was plentiful and delicious, and the addition of the sounds of the hammer dulcimer made the atmosphere romantic and wonderful. This video brings back happy memories of me, and my young, beautiful wife, and later, our first little son. Unfortunately, The Blue Danube closed a few years back because the owner retired and his children didn't want to continue with the restaurant. I hope he and his wife enjoyed their retirement as much as we enjoyed their special restaurant.

I attended West Virginia University in the late 70’s. This instrument is found throughout Appalachia. One of my roommates was from Iran. He said the Persians called this instrument the “Santa”. I suspect that this type of instrument evolved in many places independently as it is a combination percussion and stringed instrument, the most primitive kinds of instruments.

I sang in an ensemble choir a couple of years ago and we had a guest accompanist who played hammered dulcimer. About ten minutes into rehearsal, our director stopped everyone and said “Alright, we’re all just gonna take a break and spend 5 minutes watching the hammered dulcimer together, so when that’s over, I’ll have your focus again.” 😂 Truly a mesmerizing instrument, and so well-played. Such a pleasant lady too!

The tune originated from Ukraine not the song. The actual song translates to something like Bountiful, bountiful, a New Year’s carol, A little swallow flew and started to twitter, to summon the master: “Come out, come out, O master look at the sheep pen, there the ewes have yeaned and the lambkins have been born Your goods are great, you will have a lot of money, The good is good for you, you will have a measure of money. If not money, then chaff you have a dark-eyebrowed wife.” Bountiful, bountiful, a New Year’s carol, A little swallow flew.

@user-jc8rz2jj9r I was also wondering the same. So I GTS. According to Wikipedia "Carol of the Bells" is a popular Christmas carol, which is based on the Ukrainian song called "Shchedryk.” The music to “Carol of the Bells” was taken from the original Ukrainian song written by Mykola Leontovych while the English-language lyrics were written by Peter Wilhousky. "Leontovych wrote "Shchedryk" in 1914, and in 1936 Wilhousky wrote English lyrics for it, creating "Carol of the Bells".[1] The Ukrainian music is in the public domain; Wilhousky's lyrics, however, are under copyright owned by Carl Fischer Music."

Carol of the Bells is by far my favorite christmas tune. I ve always been obsessed by how chilling and haunting the melody sounds. So serious, mysterious and dangerous, yet enchanting all the same. I picture a frigid landscape disappearing under a stormy blizzard, any remnants of light struggling to survive in midst of it all. It's like the bells warn you to not take the cold lightly and to not forget how unforgiving winters can be. Incredibly atmospheric!

If you would like to know, the original lyrics to the song are not about christmas at all, its about a Shchedryk ("Bountiful Evening") which is a Ukrainian shchedrivka, or New Year's song, known in English as "The Little Swallow". And about how the little bird is calling out for the master of the house to bring them bountiful luck and good crops

Look up videos on the glass harmonica too. Talk about haunting but lovely sound.

That was so lovely! My Daddy made Appalachian Mountain Dulcimers, but they were strummed, not hammered. Wonderful memories, because of your spectacular music! Thank you for sharing!

I haven't found anyone who knows, do you know why both instruments are called dulcimers?
