A nice track I'd never heard before on the youtube channel of my friend Paul Gifford, historian of hammered dulcimers and cimbaloms who collects music, postcards, etc. about Romanian music too.
"Iancu Burcea Cârlig [...] came to New York City to play with [Fanica] Luca at the World's Fair. Because of imminent war, he stayed in America until his return to Romania a couple of years before his death. He recorded six sides for Decca in 1939."

Searched on to find something new and was not disappointed. One of the results was this award winning album by Tcha Limberger's group playing very old fashioned Hungarian string band music. So good. I actually have a ton of LPs in this genre from the 1960s but not recent.

I knew about Tcha from Youtube over the past 15 years or so but that's about it. Apparently a real gifted multi-instrumentalist.

Have been listening to a bunch of new old tracks by this fiddler Alexis Zoumbas today, they're all great but this Romanian-style doina is so excellent. Some quality fiddling.

came up in my fb memories, something I found on Jochre Yiddish OCR search in 2020 when looking for mentions of tsimbls (cimbaloms), the the boasting of a cantor from a satirical short story:

"My neck — a fiddle
my throat — a tsimbl
and I myself am a whole orchestra
When I pray, people fall like flies"

As a player and something of a Joseph Moskowitz completist I'm always happy to hear tracks of his that I've never heard before. This one didn't appear on any reissue CDs or online archives until just recently, I guess Sherry Mayrent found a copy for sale😏 OK, it's not his best of all time, but not bad nonetheless.

love this funky style of playing a . doesn't sound like anything else. I don't know enough about Greek music to know if it's a particular school of playing it because they don't all do it like this, but a few do.🥴 🇬🇷

Set up for my lunchtime recital with the fellow students of my Cimbalom teacher. I'll play a Lajos Papp piece and one by Joseph Moskowitz. Apologies for the Aurora™ t-shirt but in my mind if refers to my childhood Siamese cat and not a Canadian cannabis corporation 😑👍

@haq interesting! and the hand-carved antique ones (by Bohak or Schunda, for example) can be so gorgeous. I have seen photos of even more baroque unique ones with sculptures built into the sides, but those seem more rare.

last time I saw full sized ones in person, as far as I recall, was my last visit to Hungary in 2017 too. for example seeing Kalman Balogh perform at a neighborhood fest or sitting on the stage in Fonó Budai Zeneház when I dropped by.

Came up on FB, 10 years ago today was pretty much my only solo concert in as part of a variety show of mostly and

This was an immense and busted-up cimbalom of unknown origin I had bought on craigslist. normally they have 1) a tiny plaque with the maker's name and 2) a carved wooden frame around the instrument but both were missing.

I should really work on performing in public again sometime! I've sung in a choir but never this.

@AccordionBruce Nope I don't think anyone knows anything substantial about Goldberg. Rent-a-tsimbler.

An post for my new account. I'm a library technician, player and independent historian living in Vancouver BC. My main account is @dancarkner

Most of my work online for the last few years has related to research; I wrote most of the Wikipedia articles about klezmers, have volunteered for historical music manuscript projects, and generally tried to support the community with research where I can. My current project is about American klezmer copyright ~1917-28.🎻
