Description

Heartstrings is a Tualatin, Oregon based husband-and-wife duo playing "music for all times" period and historical as well as contemporary. They specialize in costumed performances at 19th Century and Victorian-era interpretive sites. Nancy plays the hammered dulcimer, a unique folk instrument with many courses of strings which, as the name implies, are struck with little wooden hammers. The sound is something like a harpsichord. She also plays violin and some mountain (Appalachian) dulcimer. Rob plays a stand-up string bass and a bit of banjo. Nancy and Rob both play Native American style flutes. Nancy and Rob appear regularly at historical sites in Oregon
