David Mahler, a Lynchburg, Virginia based musician, began playing the hammered dulcimer at the age of ten. Four years later, in 2004, he competed and won the title of US National Champion (setting\u00a0the record for the youngest contestant\u00a0to ever win.) David\u00a0is quite versatile on the dulcimer, playing and teaching various genres from American folk, Celtic, Contemporary, to even Classical. He has recorded with Folk, Country, Rock, Indie, pop, and even a metal band. He is part of an American-Chinese-Jazz-Folk-Fusion group called, \u201cSilk Cedar,\u201d with whom he has toured music halls throughout China, and in the US. He also plays in a folk duo called, \u201cHickory Cathedral,\u201d with cellist and multi-instrumentalist, Paul Friesen-Carper. Aside from producing several albums of original content, he has put out one instructional dulcimer book. Each of his instrumental recordings have within them refreshing, heart-opening melodies which reveal different seasons\u00a0he has had with the hammered dulcimer. Always, he remains\u00a0open to ideas and opportunities that incorporate the hammered dulcimer into new avenues of music and the arts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
