Folk musician Paul Imholte performs traditional American, Celtic, and original music on a dozen string instruments. One of those instruments is the hammered dulcimer, a trapezoid-shaped instrument struck with light hammers producing an enchanting sound. Along with the dulcimer, Paul plays fiddle, banjo, guitar, mandolin, bouzouki, cello, autoharp, and harmonica. From his fiddle, banjo, and dulcimer, he serves up hoedowns, jigs, and even light classical works. Paul has recorded twelve albums of his music, including his most recent work, a three-CD set titled The Lost Forty. He performs at festivals, schools, and libraries throughout the Midwest.
