Robin Petrie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robin Petrie is an American santouri 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 lives in Berkeley, California.[1]
