I Didn't Know What A Hammered Dulcimer Was But This Thing Is Awesome

Over the last decade, the music industry has been greatly overtaken by computers and autotune. So every now and again, it’s refreshing to stumble upon music that is a bit more organic, like the good ol’ days. Musician Ted Yoder took part in the latest installment of “Live from the Orchard” and brought along an instrument that even this former band geek wasn’t familiar with. Once you hear Yoder play his hammered dulcimer, I’m willing to bet that the performance will be stuck in your head for days.

Watch him perform the Tears for Fears classic “Everybody Wants To Rule The World.”
