ABOUT THE HAMMERED DULCIMER
The hammered dulcimer is an ancient trapezoidal musical instrument played by striking the strings with wooden hammers.
Originating in the Middle East about 2000 years ago, English soldiers brought the instrument back to England after their failed attempt to conquer Persia during the Crusades about 1000 years ago. Dulcimers have many names in many lands: santur in the Middle East, yang q'in in China, hackbrett in Austria, zither in Germany, and cymbalom in Hungary. The name "dulcimer" is derived from Latin, meaning "sweet sound". Hammered dulcimers were popular in England during the reign of James I, when the Bible was translated into English as the King James Bible. The dulcimer was mentioned in the Book of Daniel 3:5 among other instruments "..the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music..." The dulcimer was later mechanized to become what we now know as the harpsichord which later evolved in the piano

I have never heard a dulcimer played??
Yet I think the Carter family had one? Living in TN I heard the wonderful music and saw the happy clog dancing. It made my heart sing. Music is a blessing to the sorl. Bless you Mike.
Crystal Mary,I have several different posting that are played by dulcimer players.
I'm always confused by your blog Mike. I often try to visit and leave comments, sometimes it seems comments are closed. Today it took me lots of scrolling to see if you had blogged. So many pictures etc before hand...you might want to change your blog spacing a bit. It really looks like lots of ads after the large header and it takes some patience to actually find a blog post.
You say your frustrated by google etc, but you didn't say why?
