My Hammered Dulcimer

My Hammered Dulcimer
There are various Hammered Dulcimer postings from YouTube of different tunes, and NO I'm not playing any of them.

The Hammered Dulcimer

The hammered dulcimer is an ancient trapezoidal musical instrument played by striking the strings with wooden hammers. Originating in the Middle East about 2000 years ago, English soldiers brought the instrument back to England after their failed attempt to conquer Persia during the Crusades about 1000 years ago. Dulcimers have many names in many lands: santur in the Middle East, yang q'in in China, hackbrett in Austria, zither in Germany, and cymbalom in Hungary. The name "dulcimer" is derived from Latin, meaning "sweet sound". Hammered dulcimers were popular in England during the reign of James I, when the Bible was translated into English as the King James Bible. The dulcimer was mentioned in the Book of Daniel 3:5 among other instruments "..the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music..." The dulcimer was later mechanized to become what we now know as the harpsichord which later evolved in the piano.

Dear Mike,
I can't adequately put into words how much this post means to me. I just came over and did not know that you had posted this.
I am weeping at the kindness all of you have shared. I am doing OK. As well as to be expected. The funeral is Saturday at 3:00pm. It is a very sad time. It is the hardest goodbye I have ever had to say. He was like my Dad.

You guys are the best. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I pray God blesses you all for the kindness you have shown me.

Hugs to you my friend,
Tammy
