About Mountain Dulcimer

Originating in the 19th-century Appalachian Mountains, the mountain dulcimer is a fretted lap zither evolved from Northern European folk instruments like the German scheitholt. It typically features three or four strings, often tuned to a drone-based modal scale, and is played by plucking or strumming while resting the instrument across the lap. The music is characterized by a distinctive metallic yet woody timbre, featuring melodic lines played against sustained open strings that create a rich, hypnotic harmonic texture. Primarily associated with American old-time and folk traditions, the genre evokes a rustic and serene mood, serving as a foundational pillar of traditional mountain music alongside the banjo and fiddle.
