Frank Povah obtained this beautifully crafted Dulcimer while living in Kentucky, USA. He plays an Australian song 'Hey Rain', which was a favourite with American audiences.
Frank Povah performed this version for us during a recording session for The National Library of Australia at Franklin in Tasmania, May 2014.
Frank is a pioneer of the folk music revival in Australia having been among the first to grasp various genres, including American blues and Jug Band music and play and sing them in an Australian way. Frank has been involved with and influenced folk music in Australia, New Zealand and the USA.  
He does not compartmentalise his songs, he plays "music".
