More History about Dulcimer:
This American instrument has a rather uncertain musical history, that began in the area we now call Pennsylvania. Evolving over 200 years and finally developed as an instrument all its own, it arose from the southern Appalachians in the late 1700's. It has European ancestors: the Swedish Hummel and Norwegian Langeleik, the French Epinette des Vosges and a close relative, the German Scheitholt (later the Pennsylvania German zither) from which it evolved. Variations spread from the Appalachians of southern Pennsylvania into Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina, but few pre-1850 examples have survived.
