mountain dulcimer
Dan plays mountain dulcimer almost exclusively finger-style. His instruments have three single strings and have been built with a diatonic fretting pattern, there are no half-frets.

On the dulcimer Dan’s repertoire includes traditional English, Scottish and Irish folk songs and airs as well as a few fun original compositions. He takes a classical approach to British folk melodies with medieval modes and jazzy chords and rhythms.

‘‘Dan brought an entirely new approach to performing on the mountain dulcimer. We were thrilled by his mastery of the instrument and his breathtaking instrumentals. Surely a talent not to be missed."
