Such a fascinating instrument! There is only one active player in the Greater Washington DC Area that I know of, and he usually travels to gigs with a portable version (although I do know of one authentic one in the area). I first saw in up-close & personal at Fono in Budapest in January 2009.

Such a beautiful story. And what a wonderful cimbalom playing. I really enjoyed the presentation. Thank you so much for sharing Marianna.

Endre! Thank you so much for your story and your musical gift. I am new to Hungarian culture (I just married a magyar a few months ago), and music has been my biggest connection point – a worldwide language, if you will. I am enjoying learning about all of the traditional instruments, and am drawn to the cimbalom everywhere we go. It was so much fun to hear about how you connected to the instrument and the community, and then to hear you play and be able to watch it up close. I look forward to your longer-form video as well to learn more about the history. Thanks so much for your time and energy to present this wonderful session.

This made me miss the Bethlen Ligonier picnic. My brother was facinated with the cimbalom and had gone to speak with the musician on break. The songs bring up pleasant memories of listening as well as watching the dancers
