#SUSANNAH FLOOD THEATER CREDITS PATCH#

NARRATOR: Igor, Katya, and their young son Levi had nothing to their names but a small patch of land and a chestnut-colored horse named Clementine. In the early 1700s it made its way to North America, where some settlers called it the whamadiddle or hackbrett (“chopping board” in German).Īs the dulcimer has evolved in different countries, it has developed different designs and names, from China’s Yangqin and Korea’s Yanggeum… to India’s Santoor and Ukraine’s Tsymbaly… to Italy’s Salterio and Spain’s Dulcémele. It was brought to North Africa, then to western Europe and eastern Europe, then to China, Thailand and Korea. No one is certain about the true origins of the hammered dulcimer, but experts believe the instrument showed up in Persia around 900 A.D. To play the instrument, you strike the strings with hammers.

The hammered dulcimer is a trapezoid-shaped instrument with strings running across its body. You can find us Spotlight: The Hammered Dulcimer Composer Eric Shimelonis playing the hammered dulcimer: which consists of strings stretched over a trapezoid-shaped resonant sound board.
