The dulcimer is a traditional stringed instrument with two main types: the hammered dulcimer and the Appalachian (or mountain) dulcimer. The hammered dulcimer is a trapezoidal, percussive instrument played by striking the strings with small mallets, while the Appalachian dulcimer has a narrow, fretted body and is typically played on the lap by strumming or plucking. Both types have a sweet, resonant tone and are often used in folk music, particularly in American and European traditions.
Has some cracks visible & needs a restring. Includes leather strap.
