Second, the melody string, the string closest to the player, may be depressed with a noter, typically a short length of dowel or bamboo (see photo at left). Using this technique, all the strings may be fretted allowing the player to produce chords. First, the strings may be depressed with the fingertips of the fretting hand. There are two predominant methods of fretting. The dulcimer may also be placed in a similar position on a piece of furniture such as a table or chest of drawers, to enhance the sound.
Jean Ritchie (The Dulcimer Book, 1974) and others have speculated that the Appalachian dulcimer is related to similar European instruments like the langeleik and scheitholt.Ī traditional way to play the instrument is to lay it flat on the lap and pluck or strum the strings with one hand, while fretting with the other. For example, a courting dulcimer has two fretboards, which allows two players sitting across from each other to perform duets, hence the name. As a folk instrument, wide variation exists in Appalachian dulcimers. The body extends the length of the fingerboard and traditionally has an hourglass, teardrop, triangular, or elliptical shape (also called the galax). The Appalachian dulcimer is a fretted string instrument of the zither family, typically with three or four strings, although contemporary versions of the instrument can have as many as twelve strings and six courses. The Appalachian, or Mountain Dulcimer takes it's name from it's sweet (Dulce) sound! Wachet Auf Ruft Uns Die Stimme Play Midi File
