Cymbalennium - 4637

Review "Cymbalom master ... a wondrous new way of playing" -- Jesse Hamlin / San Francisco Chronicle "The way Masley plays is completely unique ... glowing, angelic, celestial..." -- Carl Stone / Mojo "Unbelievable harmonic resonances" -- Butch Vig / Musician Magazine Product Description The cymbalom is a modern Hungarian version of the hammered dulcimer. Its trapezoid shape & tradition of playing with two hand-held hammers have traveled world culture without missing a beat for 2500 years. Michael Masley plays with an original technique and instrumentation he developed, including "bowhammers" attached to eight fingers, plus two thumbpicks, enabling plucking, striking, and bowing of strings almost simultaneously. About the Artist Noted in Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians for his unique approach to the cymbalom, Mike Masley has played the streets of the San Francisco Bay area for 25 years, while his music has also been heard on NPR's "All Songs Considered," HBO, CBS, and the soundtrack of the film "Geronimo."
