Robin Petrie

Robin Petrie is an American santur and hammered dulcimer player. Petrie has been performing popular and seldom-heard hammered dulcimer music since 1980. She is heard regularly on National Public Radio. Though focusing initially on British Isles and French music, her current work includes music from many cultures around the globe.

Petrie owns but does not actually play an 1875 Mackenzie Piano Harp, patented and built in Minneapolis along the lines of a small spinet. About 30 Mackenzie piano harps are known to survive today. She in fact plays an instrument by Texas maker Russell Cook, and a santur made in Athens, Greece.

She lives in northern California.[1]

gollark: Your scanfile thing will, at least, detect DemoVirus.
gollark: That reminds me, I really ought to see what CraftOS-PC raw mode looks like now.
gollark: Or I could make some sort of horrible very limited CraftOS-PC reimplementation based on the actual Lua library, magically copy whatever OC does, and just make all the `term` calls print TRoR output instead.
gollark: no.
gollark: Hmm, maybe you could get persistence out of CraftOS-PC somehow.
