Raffele

- with Johanna Dumfart, who shows us the small and unassuming cousin of the zither. I met her in Linz, Austria, a city which is equally small, unassuming and not without its own unorthodox charm.

Recorded: Linz, Austria, April 2018.
Its a travesty that you have so few subscribers for this series of great content that you’re creating, please keep going! On the Raffele, I would have liked to know more about the odd fret spacing, I’m guessing it means there’s no sharps and flats to play?
Mark Garratt yeah it looked diatonic to me.
JC Does Stuff!! Thanks for the knowledge, diatonic!
First of all thank you for your kind words, and thanks for watching. I've got about 8 more interviews in the can ready to be edited to stay tuned, more to come! And yes, thanks to my crappy interviewing skills I forgot to get Johanna to mention the diatonic fret placement. Similar to the dulcimer and the zither.
The Stringdom not crappy at all! Glad to hear there’s more coming.
@@TheStringdom I was thinking modal tuning like the dulcimer.
Amazing instrument. I play the humle, mountain dulcimer, concert zither and can see the resemblance.
Wow, not to diminish the focus on the Raffele, but Johanna's speaking voice doesn't hint much at how beautifully she sings! Sehr Schön!
Interesting. Saw that instrument today first time but love such string sounds!
This chanel needs more views
Hikaru Hyuga I agree haha. Thanks for watching, and please share it with anyone you think might enjoy it!
Its great art of music bravissimo
So it is kind of like the appalachian dulcimer or mountain dulcimer! 👍😁
Jason S true! I'd love to get a dulcimer on the series. For sure next time I'm bouncing around the US
You're right, that was the first thing I thought when I saw this. This definitely has to be a descendant of the Scheitholt just like the Mountain Dulcimer! (I play the dulcimer.) The way she talks about it having more drone strings and those being removed, is the same way the dulcimer evolved. It's also tuned DAA, which is an older tuning for dulcimers that was popular until 60s/70s. Great to see this, I love learning about this family of instruments :-) edit: I should have watched the whole thing before commenting - she mentions it's related to the Scheitholt later on :-)
Looks exactly like a Zither without the extra strings, no real surprise since it's so closely related to it...
Such a charming instrument! And she’s got a lovely voice, too!
bro your channel is a gem for music instrument lovers, i think you deserve more and more views and subs than you get
for your kind information, you can visit the indian subcontinent (india, pakistan, bangladesh, nepal, bhutan) to get many more regional music instruments, you will love them,hope you make it lagre❤
Thank you for watching! Yes there are many places I still have to visit. I was lucky enough to spend some time in Sri Lanka, so I have an interview coming up from there. Just need to get to work and edit it! :) stay tuned!
Reminds me of a dulcimer didn’t that come from the alp region ?
LEGAL SUCESSO.
Could this musical instrument be at least one of the ancestors of the Appalachian Mountain dulcimer?
Or at least a "cousin". I think I heard her say that this instrument was developed only about 100 years ago, and it's ancestor is the Scheitholt or Scheitholz, which is also probably an ancestor of our mountain dulcimer. So I'm thinking they're cousins. (And this is the tiny one with the high voice, like a dulcimette!)
It looks like Picasso drew a guitar
Thats funny this is A A E and balalaika is E E A
Superczech 55 FNAF wow I didn't think about that! There's a nice symmetry there :)
Looks like a mountain dulcimer
I guess I’m gonna comment to help boost this channel’s content in the al gore rhythm
sorry, aber das habe ich noch nie gesehen

Yeah! Pretty much no-one I spoke to in Austria had heard of it either! Glad I got to chat to someone who plays such a rare instrument.
Being "alpine" instruments, it is no wonder that most Austrians have never seen or heard of them.
She's very careful not to mention that South Tyrol has been politically italian for like 103 years... or that Bavaria is in Germany. I didn't think austrian also lived in makebelieve land at times, like some Catalans and Corsicans. But maybe I'm reading too much in it.
