Dulcimer sweet sounds

The dulcimer is like what we think of as an "auto harp" that you see in elementary school except it is "hammered" with little mallets. Hence:  Hammered Dulcimer.

It is an ancient instrument and a folk instrument of sorts. I'll show you two examples:  1. is from a modern composition of Hungarian folk songs and the other other is from Appalachia... Now you know something new for the water cooler.



Appalachia....(which I prefer)
