On Wednesfky afternoon, April 13,
Haslem Porthvich came to
last the Howick Central School and made
ing a number of musical presentations
eed to the studentS.
Throughout his presentation,. he

and playing for 10 years, has similarities
Ys with a harp and a guitar. R is played
Y with a number of small hammers,
some leather pieces and some made
0 8 The dolsimer which he has been
er from wood.
a This instruznent dates back to the
ne 1200s and is mentioned in the Old
d Testament. The dolsimer probably
at originated in the Middle East, but
of versions of it can be found in almost
lY every country today. Some of its
's names are: chang and yang chin in
a the Orient; santer in India;
tti whamadiddle in the Appalachian
g Mountains and lumberjack's piano
in the United States.
1, Mr. Ha.slem played a number of
P songs on all of the instruments, in-
cluding a jig, a reel, hornpipe, an
m aire and two favorites of his
students, "Don't Leave Your
Y Records in the Sun" and "I Know an
if Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly".
f He is self-taught on all three in-
struments, using instructional
• tapes, records and books. He has
played at several festivals,
e restaurants and was a street min-
strel in Kitchener last simmer. He
also has made appearances recently
in Listowel.
Born in Brampton, Mr. Haslem
spent most of his life in the United
States, returning toCanada only five
years ago. He said he built his
hammered dolsimer because of a
love for the instrument and can now
build one within a month or even a
week if he works hard.
