Exuberant and lively…GREAT energy!!!

Kathy O’Hanlon, hammered dulcimer player, West Virginia

In addition to being talented, Lucille is also personable…the whole audience was drawn in to her performance.

Great Lakes Scottish Fiddle Club Newsletter, Illinois

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

Each of the four times I have seen Lucille perform, she has consistently wowed the audience with her musicality, technical expertise, and lively and engaging personality, drawing the audience in and sharing with them her love of music, her enthusiasm for her instruments, and her joy of performance.

Dorothy Westgate, Montgomery Cultural Center, New Jersey

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.

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

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

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