Lucille’s love for music is communicated with every fiber of her being…her instruments seem to become part of her body.

Lucille performs with a skill and grace not usually heard (or seen)…a committed performer/teacher who strives for excellence, bringing wit and personality to her performances…delightful to listen to and a pleasure to watch.

June Van Thoen, Director, Music at Morristown (NJ) United Methodist Church

Magnificent, both in terms of musicianship and showmanship. Lucille has a special talent to raise people’s spirits and get them moving and smiling. How lucky the audience!

Jerry Wrzosek, hammered dulcimer player, Pennsylvania

Anyone with that much talent should have been drowned at birth.

Bryan Bowers, acclaimed autoharpist and Autoharp Hall of Fame member

Lucille is in a class by herself when it comes to playing and teaching the dulcimer.

Norine Humm, Michigan

I have always believed in giving public credit to musicians whose talent and originality awe and inspire me, and one of the best is LUCILLE REILLY. She’s a master at both hammered dulcimer and autoharp. I love her magnificent technique, feeling for the music, and clever (often humorous) improvisations on well-known music.

Lois Hornbostel, North Carolina

Lucille’s playing of the hammered dulcimer reminds me of a hummingbird whose wings you cannot see, only the flutter.

Sandy Jones, hammered dulcimer player, Michigan
