Hello,
I'm a cimbalom player in Australia, one of the very few.
I go to Romania, Hungary and Moldova a lot to learn from Roma/Gypsy musicians there in the styles that I am interested in. I learn by ear and concentrate mainly on 'traditional' repertoire: older-style muzica lautareasca and music from the Mures valley area of Transylvania. I have an interest in Jewish music from the same area too but dislike most modern 'klezmer' bands. I learned to speak Romanian to help my cimbalom studies, which has made going there much more interesting and fruitful.
My dream is to play the cimbalom every night in a restaurant for a living...

Welcome aboard.  I bet you are enjoying better weather over there than the drab, dull & dreary day I have outside my window today.  Cheers Dick |

Welcome, Tambalagiu!
I enjoyed reading your introductory post. I find the fact that you learned to speak Romanian very impressive. I tried to learn a little Scottish Gaelic to help me sing some of the Celtic music that I love so much. I play hammered dulcimer and you and I share a similar dream- I, too, would love to earn my living playing my instrument in a restaurant every night! I would love to hear a sound clip of you playing your Romanian music!
