Figured it was time I show people how to do it

The Dulcitone is an oddity of a keyboard instrument, built in Scotland in the late 19th century as a solution for missionaries on ships who had trouble keeping their pianos in tune on long voyages. It uses felt hammers that hit individual tuning forks, tuned chromatically. A lever by your foot lets you sustain notes. They’re abundant in Scotland, but hard to come by in the US. Hard not to play a lullaby on it! I found this one in Charlotte, and it’s now here in studio in Vermont.
