Aradia, that is absolutely amazing on all fronts! So I take it you've been playing Mountain Dulcimer for quite awhile then? I have a great love for the folk traditions within your parts of the states, it has planted Culture in a period in which Culture has been lost, and for that I've always loved and respected this area, as well as it's music. The Mountain Dulcimer to me is such a beautiful instrument, it's so simple yet so powerful and familiar. I've never heard of Sacred Harp singing, and I'm kicking myself for not! This is very intriguing to me and I'll have to study it further, as I'm sure this wikipedia article only touches the surface. Cheers!

Anwend, Yes, tis true I have been playing a mountain dulcimer since I was about 12, Harp since I was 7, and banjo (claw hammer style) since I was 20.. AND it's also true that the wikki article on sacred harp singing only scratches the surface. If you listen to early southern American music, you already know what it sounds like.... The flat singing of the Carter Family is a good example of how the Sacred Harp tradition worked it's way into country music. It's also nice to speak to another craftsperson on here. Have you looked into The Penland School of Craft? I think they have blacksmithing workshops but I'm not sure. It's also nestled away in the Beautiful Smokey Mountains where I grew up. Cheers.

Wonderful! Such lovely instruments, it's nice to have another Folk musician on here, we've been joking in the past about making a Korpiklaani forum member band, haha, so you'd have to join our ranks. I've never heard of the Penland School of Craft, at least not that I know of. I went to a Blacksmithing event last year with my dear friends and they were giving out Info on a Folk Art school out east, but I lost all the info. The sad thing is though, most (probably all) of those Folk Art schools are not looked upon by the government as "worthwhile" and thus there is no possibility of getting any aid towards being a better hand craftsman. Once I get my degree as a Professor though, any money I make is going towards travel and more schooling/classes, so I'm going to look into doing something then, hopefully sooner! I'll have to send you a Private Message sometime and continue deeper communication with you.

I can do some bass tracks ;D. Especially the earlier stuff, right back to Shamaani Duo, I've got everything Jonne the Great has ever done, as far as I can tell

Of course! We'll have to find some way to tone the basses down, as from what I've come across we have more bassists on here than guitar players. Not saying that's a bad thing, but we'd like to make sure our fans keep their ears from the onslaught of bass booms! haha

Cool . I admire your optimism ;D

Well, THIS is a typical Hungarian folk music+instruments, and dance. The dancers are not professionals, they are musicians and civils just having fun, so this dance can differ www.youtube.com/watch?v=PunfTeC1Npkwww.youtube.com/watch?v=IYh-Lwd1b6oI really don't want to advertise the band just show the video, I like it so much. On the first you can see the instruments, too. I think a Hungarian instrument, which is only Hungarian is the ,,tárogató" (I think all the other exist in other nations, too) So this is tárogató: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAeYt-swWG0Tyyyypiiccccccal Hungarian folk music:www.youtube.com/watch?v=-C6sF1cdvxo

nightwica: and not only we know Dalriada, we even listen them! ;D Wanna see my t'shirt too?hahaha... Yes they're fine... Hungarian folklore is indeed catchy and the way the influences are interwaven between that and ours (romanian that is ), tis on my liking. And I don't like our folklore,haha! Except the ancestral one that only a very few old people keep it alive, and the influenced one I've just mentioned.

Oh so you don't live so far then Which T-shirt do you have? Yeah the romanians and hungarians have lived in the same for centuries so the influence is normal.. Gladly here the folklore is surviving, but less and less people are helping it to survive Can you link me a typical romanian folk music video or something?

I have the Arany one. well, try www.spiritromanesc.go.ro/ , the english version,of course. There on Grigore Leşe link you find also some typical instruments described, and a few of his representative songs. ,Tulnic' is a wonderful instrument....tis like hearing ancestors calling...anyhow, let me wake up from dreaming that and also point that Negură Bunget uses also some of those elements and instruments in their masterpieces, so in that BM package you get to enjoy ,history" too.

Another traditional instrument (that I can't see in previous Bulgarian posts) is called tamboura(tambura). It's came from India, but here is in different variations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRZM0sIf1_M
