"Arise, Arise" on Mountain Dulcimer

This song is based on a version of the tradition ballad (also known as "Awake awake" collected by Cecil Sharp on one of his Applachian collecting trips in 1917-1919) and was published in an anthology of 80 Appalachian folk songs by his secretary and executor Maud Karples in the 1960s. The dulcimer was made for me by my partner (his first one). The top is spruce, the back, sides, end block and peg box are walnut, as is the Green Man hand carved by him, on the back of the instrument. Given that it was made in Sheffield UK, is seems more accurate to call it a mountain dulcimer rather than an Applachian one ; we are a long way from that part of the world! Thanks for listening.
