I've made a number of recordings over the years.
As an example of the versatility of the dulcimer, here's an MP3 sample of a recording I made of the well known Mexican folk tune "La Llorona": La Llorona
This version of "La Llorona" is inspired by the playing of Pedro Ruiz, a great salterio player who made a record in the 1970's called "The Mexican Psaltery". Salterio is the Mexican version of the hammer dulcimer, although in fact it is often plucked with finger-picks. I recorded this at home on dulcimer, guitar and string bass.
I've written up information about two recordings, Old Time Hammered Dulcimer Favorites and Dulcimer Christmas. I've also recorded many albums with the Trail Band. You can learn about the Trail Band and our albums at www.trailband.com.
