This sounds like HTTYD if it were Skyrim music. I dig it

Just discovered this instrument today and it’s one of the most beautiful I’ve never heard in my life

[@trevorsweet2807]

It brings me joy to finally know where this sound comes from and to hear it so well played

[@johnholder4208]

This actually brought back great memories of watching HTTYD with the kiddos. Thanks for the happy tears.

[@cosmiicpeach121]

Playing DND has opened my eyes to the amazing instrument that is the Dulcimer. Thank you for playing such an amazing instrument, and being so great at it as well.

I've had a "listen" around to this, orchestras, guitar, harp, but this is the one I like best. There's something about this instrument... and I like your chords.

[@hoooooobly]

i have to say, this is one of my favorite covers of yours. coincidentally enough, I just finished watching all of your youtube videos while i was working on a drawing of Haku, from Spirited Away, in his dragon form 😁🐉 i would love to hear some more Studio Ghibli covers from you someday!! the hammered dulcimer is such a unique, enchanting instrument and you play it beautifully 👏🏻

[@dididoo]

I've chosen this piece this morning to slowly wake me up. Its beautiful and so beautifully played, listening non stop, just what I need! Now what's this little name someone calls out at the beginning? Certainly not Evan! Its time to eat it seems. I'd written this all out in French so I had to start again! How's your french these days? A very Good Morning to you anyway from France 🇨🇵🌷🌸👏

[@LaurenLindblad]

“*cluck* ~dragons!” 😂 i wasn’t expecting that. thanks for sharing your beautiful performance.

[@geoffoconnor3487]

I have never seen those films, but I love zither, autoharp and dulcimer music.

Underrated video

[@amybradley2514]

Wonderful! I love the hammered dulcimer. First encountered it years ago (decades!) at the Northern California Ren Faire. And I love HTTYD!

[@NickelLight]

This was AWESOME! I've never seen someone play the dulcimer before, I really enjoyed your timing aswell!
I search for how to train your dragon stuff every few days or so that's how I found this, but I hope the algorithm puts your content out there because this was great!

Reminds me of good ol' Whiterun

[@Srtw163]

So so so warm and beautiful ❤ bright sound but from where do I get this traditional instrument.

[@Lavasalsa1]

Just search for buy “hammered dulcimer”. There are quite a few manufactures called “luthiers”

[@engr998]

Beautiful! Great job :) Do you have this notated? I would love to learn to play it!

[@EvanPlaysDulcimer]

Thank you! Unfortunately I don’t have notation because I learned it by ear

[@engr998]

@@EvanPlaysDulcimer Ah, well, if you ever do put it to paper I'd certainly buy a copy. :) I'll just carefully watch you in the meantime.
