Dulcimers are musical instrument that basically consist of wooden boxes with strings streched over them.In one form or another,they have been around since ancient times,probably originating with the persian santir.Today there are two varieties:the hammered dulcimer and the Appalachian,or mountain dulcimer.The former is shaped like a trapezoid,has two or more strings,and is played with wooden mallets.It is the same instrument played in a number of Old World countries.The Appalachian dulcimer is classsified by musicologists as a box zither.It is a descendant of the Pennsylvania Dutch scheitholt and the French epinette.Appalachian dulcimers are painstakingly fashioned I artisans in the mountains of West Virginia,Kentucky,Tennessee,and virginia.These instruments have three or four strings and are plucked with quills or the fingers.They are shaped like teardrops or hourglasses.Heart-shaped holes in the sounding board are traditional.Most performers play the instruments while seated with the instruments in their laps,but others wear them around their neel like guitars or place them on tables in front of them.Originally used to play dance music,Appalachian dulcimers were popularized by performers such as John Jacob Niles and Jean Ritchie during it folk music revival of the 1960s.
