Mountain Dulcimer

Mountain Dulcimer is a folk music genre that originated in the Appalachian Mountains of the United States. It is typically played on a stringed instrument called a dulcimer, which is a fretted zither with three or four strings. The instrument is usually plucked or strummed with a pick or the fingers. The music is characterized by its simple melodies and harmonies, often featuring drones and modal scales. It is often accompanied by other instruments such as the guitar, banjo, fiddle, and mandolin. Mountain Dulcimer music is often used to accompany traditional folk songs and dances, and is a popular choice for jam sessions and festivals.
