| Appalachian dulcimer | Library Science | The Appalachian dulcimer is derived from the German zither-like instrument, the Scheitholt. Appalachian dulcimers consist of a narrow fingerboard lying above a larger soundbox. The instrument is usually eight to twelve inches long with widths varying according to the shape of the soundboxes, which are commonly in the shape of a figure eight or a teardrop. The dulcimer typically has three or four metal strings and is normally placed horizontally across a table or held on the player�s lap. The strings are played by plucking with the fingers of the right hand or with a plectrum, or occasionally by bowing. The left hand plays melodic lines by pressing the string closest to the body against the fretboard with the fingers, or by using a wooden rod, called a noter, as a slide. (references) | |
