Metro Semeniuk

One of the more unusual instruments played by buskers belongs to Metro Semeniuk. It's the hammered dulcimer and it produces wonderful bell-like tones when he plays it. The photo above is a snapshot from the video that I shot on Fisherman's Wharf here in Victoria a few weeks ago. Metro divides his time between Fisherman's Wharf and the Inner Harbor.

Metro - Ukrainian Dulcimer

Today I had the pleasure of meeting Metro, a street musician playing on the Inner Harbour causeway. He plays the Ukrainian Dulcimer, an instrument I had never heard before. Below is a video I took to give you some idea of what a dulcimer sounds like and how it is played.
