notes

Sam Rizzetta is a musician and instrument maker whose many design and playing innovations have helped define the contemporary hammer dulcimer. The tone of his instruments and his heartfelt and ornamented playing style have been called "resonantly sensuous magic," and "awe inspiring." Performance credits include The Kennedy Center and the National Cathedral, as well as public radio and TV. In 1975 Sam created the renowned quartet Trapezoid. His many recordings include 12 solo CDs featuring hammer dulcimer, and there are three books of his original tunes.

Rizzetta dulcimers have been exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution and the National Folk Festival and featured in Fine Woodworking Magazine. Many top performers play dulcimers made or designed by Rizzetta. Sam has recently been nominated for a National Endowment for the Arts Heritage Fellowship for lifetime achievement in the arts.
