The best thing to walk into our studio in a few years.

Jim Ratts, Raven Recording, Colorado

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

I hear Lucille’s heart in her music.

Ben Buckles, hammered dulcimer player, Kansas

Her incredible music blew away the whole church! We never imagined the hammered dulcimer and autoharp could play so diversely and musically.

Washington Park UCC Church, Denver, CO

Music drips from her fingers. Lucille Reilly is music.

Dr. John Williams, friend and music aficionado, Alabama

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

Exuberant and lively…GREAT energy!!!

Kathy O’Hanlon, hammered dulcimer player, West Virginia

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 arrangements are nothing short of stunning!
