A Belgian high school teacher, sheep farmer and musician -- screen name jostilley -- plays his composition, "Hoera! Nieuw Leven! - Three Cheers for Each New Life!," on the Flemish hommel. Gives a good sense of how the instrument is played.
Also on jostilly's YouTube site: Several clips of hommel and Appalachian dulcimer music, including what appears to be a jam session for of medieval and modern folk instruments at the Volksmuziekschool in Gooik, a town in Belgium.
W. Ulrich aus Norden (Ostfriesland) has his YouTube directory at http://www.youtube.com/user/ulricus1 ... on one, demonstrating his reconstruction of a Saxon instrument of the 1840s, he plays with a noter and goose feather. He even has a "Hummel blues."
Doesn't belong here, but linked so I can find it later. A clip of German folksinger Jan Rolph von Heidweiler singing "Die Fahrt ins Heu" at the historical event "Waldorf - Bi et wor en is 2006". Sounds like "Det var en gode gamle bondeman."
