The holiday season isn’t over yet, and we still have a couple of days before we end the year 2023.

Entering another year means another step forward into the future.

Thankfully, though, this song is timeless.

Although we are advancing one year at a time, we can’t deny the fact we are what we are today because of what we were before.

Traditional ceremonies, clothing, way of cooking food, music and song genres, and musical instruments.

They say don’t dwell too much on the past.

But you can’t also climb up by skipping the first few steps of the ladder.

This makes perfect sense, especially in the world of musical instruments.

In the world that we live in today, people still play the usual like guitar, drums, and piano. However, one can easily produce music by using music applications on smart devices.

One content creator from YouTube who goes by her channel’s name as ‘DeeDee Tibbits’ will give you that nostalgic feel.

If you are not yet one of her 13,3000 subscribers, you’d perhaps find her videos a flashback to good old times.

She uses all kinds of traditional musical instruments from different countries like the Native American Flute, Austrian Zither, Indian Mouthbow, and Double Irish Whistles.

Her music attracts viewers of all ages, genders, and ethnicities.

In this video, she’s hammering out a musical treat for the holidays.

In one of her recent uploads, DeeDee decided to play the Hammered Dulcimer to the tune of ‘Carol of the Bells.’

The video started with an introduction to the hammered dulcimer.

DeeDee shared it’s a stringed instrument boasting over 100 strings with roots stretching back centuries.

Its unique play involves striking the strings with miniature hammers.

Subsequently, the performer launched into a mesmerizing rendition of the classic Christmas melody, “Carol of the Bells,” on this ancient instrument.

The outcome was a haunting yet remarkable interpretation of the well-known tune.

DeeDee’s hammered dulcimer performance has garnered the attention of hundreds of thousands of viewers.

Numerous individuals expressed their joy and admiration in the comments section, captivated by her skillful rendition.

In fact, one of her viewers shared his wonderful experience with his wife as they witnessed a young man played another old musical instrument.

“My wife and I used to go to a Hungarian restaurant across the river, in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, called the Blue Danube. They had a young man that would play this instrument in the evening on the weekends. It wasn’t a fancy place, but the owners were very nice, the food was plentiful and delicious, and the addition of the sounds of the hammer dulcimer made the atmosphere romantic and wonderful. This video brings back happy memories of me, and my young, beautiful wife, and later, our first little son…”

Hear how heavenly “Carol of the Bells” sounds on this old instrument below!
