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 musick..." The dulcimer was later mechanized to become what we now know as the harpsichord which later evolved in the piano.

A prayer request.

My cousin Keith's wife Cindy had neck surgery on Friday,she came home on Monday with instructions not to lift any thing heave. Well she was picking up her grand baby one too many times and had to be rushed to the hospital today.I do not have any future information at this time.I know that I have posted other's request for prayers on my site.It is My family that need those prayers said today for Cindy. I hope that every body that visits will say prayers for her.Thank you.


An Update Cindy is back home resting and has been ordered not to do any lifting and to rest.I know it is had when you children and grand children live with you and not want to help,but she needs to look out for her self first.If not the consequences will not be good.
