My Hammered Dulcimer
There are various Hammered Dulcimer postings from YouTube of different tunes, and NO I'm not playing any of them.

The Hammered Dulcimer

The hammered dulcimer is an ancient trapezoidal musical instrument played by striking the strings with wooden hammers. Originating in the Middle East about 2000 years ago, English soldiers brought the instrument back to England after their failed attempt to conquer Persia during the Crusades about 1000 years ago. Dulcimers have many names in many lands: santur in the Middle East, yang q'in in China, hackbrett in Austria, zither in Germany, and cymbalom in Hungary. The name "dulcimer" is derived from Latin, meaning "sweet sound". Hammered dulcimers were popular in England during the reign of James I, when the Bible was translated into English as the King James Bible. The dulcimer was mentioned in the Book of Daniel 3:5 among other instruments "..the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music..." The dulcimer was later mechanized to become what we now know as the harpsichord which later evolved in the piano.

Entrecard does it again.

Entrecard explanding network to include website owners

Written on January 19th, 2010 by Cindy

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone has had a good year so far! We have exciting new changes coming up in the new year including the one I would like to announce today.

We are very excited to announce that Entrecard is expanding its user base to regular website owners. Over the last couple of years, Entrecard has fulfilled its promise to bloggers by increasing traffic and allowing bloggers to network with one another. Without a doubt, the strength of the Entrecard network is its users. As the company moves forward, we would like to expand our user base to people with regular websites (not just blog sites). Entrecard has helped many bloggers achieve their online goals and we believe that Entrecard can offer the same great benefits to regular website owners. We would like to help them increase their traffic and network with people in their field. By opening up the Entrecard network, bloggers can also network with website owners too.

We understand your concerns about this expansion, but we can assure you that there will be no disruption to our current blogger network which all of you are on. We have created a new “site type” in our sign up form. From now on, anyone who signs up will have the option to classify his or her site as a “blog” or a “website.” Please also note that we’ve added new “site type” search field on http://entrecard.com/category/browserwhich also allows you to see what sites are on each network. These are the only changes you’ll see thus far. Over the next few months, we will be adding more search features so our users can distinguish between “blogs” and “website” in your drops.

By opening up Entrecard to regular websites (and not just blogs), we hope to open more doors and allow our members to network with more users. We’re focused on creating the best user experience that we possibly can and strongly believe that we are headed in the right direction.

Regards,
Cindy

Well, I'm not leaving Entrecard so I'll just roll with the punches. They have to make a living somehow.

Have a great day. Big hug. :)
