DULCIMER
Dulcimer, stringed musical instrument, a version of the psaltery in which the strings are
beaten with small hammers rather than plucked. European dulcimerssuch as the Alpine
hackbrett, the Hungarian cimbalom, the Romanian ?ambal, the Greek santouri, and the
Turkish and Persian san?
, as well as the Chinese yangqin
have for each note two or
more metal strings stretched across a flat, usually trapezoidal sound box. They pass over
one and under the other of two long bridges, sloping alternately to right and left to facilitate
rapid playing with the light beaters. Dulcimers probably entered central Europe from Persia
about the 15th century.
The pianoforte is a dulcimer in which a keyboard mechanism operates the beaters. One of
its immediate predecessors was the pantaleon, a 5-foot (1.5-metre) or longer dulcimer
fashionable in the early 18th century.
