The Apalachian Dulcimer developed in North America from the European Scheitholt or the North German Hummel and is used in folk music there.
The Appalachian Dulcimer has 4 strings. The two high strings are tuned the same, the others in a fifth to the root note.
A common mood is d - a - d '- d'
The frets are set diatonic.
Like a zither lying on the table or on the player's lap, the strings can be plucked or struck. At the neck you either grab a single string or all three at the same time with your finger or a bamboo stick. The effect of playing with a bottleneck is particularly typical, so that you can quickly slide over the strings between the frets. The fifth tuning enables open play with drone notes or chords.
28 Melodies,exspecially arranged for the chalumeau, but also playable with other instruments dfferent dances, songs and oriental music.
An ritual instrument at different indigen cultur. Exspecially in sout pacific area it is usual.
At first it was a hollow log, here it is a wooden box, with sawed tongues in the top.
The different length of the tongues makes 6 different notes in pentatonic tuning. So you can play free and easy and the sound is always harmonic.
The sound is very earthy, origen, shamanic. A modern instrument in this style is the Hapi-drum, a tongue-drum made from a metal resonance-box.
A robust instrument wich is good for music practice with small children, Kindergarden or music therapy.
