The other day while bouncing around in cyberspace I stumbled across what was said to be a photograph of Italian Tunisian actress Claudia Cardinale.
What caught my eye was that she is holding a dulcimer!
I was curious if this was a still from a film and I searched for “Claudia Cardinale” and “dulcimer” which did not bring up anything about Claudia Cardinale and a dulcimer.
The search did however bring up references to the lovely and talented Claudia Schmidt.
On another note; from the way Claudia Cardinale is playing the dulcimer it is clear her playing was strongly influenced by the also lovely and talented Butch Ross.




So, Claudia Cardinale may have been in a movie with a mountain dulcimer before Don Pedi was in “Songcatcher”?
I saw the Mona Lisa with a MD. (Don definitely had something to do with that one.)
Is Mona Lisa a pop star? LOL
If the first thing you noticed in that image was the dulcimer you must be a VERY happily married man!!!
Well, I once saw a bespectacled spotty folk-geek stare at a woman friend’s very talented chest, which was tightly clothed in a ZZ-TOP t-shirt – all he could find to say was that he disapproved of her musical choice!!!! She, her boyfriend and the rest of us (all dulcimer players!) nearly died of hysterical laughter!!!
Ahh Claudia, the princess!
Let’s not forget Force and d’Ossché.
I guess I didn’t think of Force and d’Ossché because because though they played standing they play over the top of the fretboard but hey, I’m not picky!
Cool, this got me grinning!
at times during a filming in europe the lady might pick up something to keep thee action going
Who nknew.
