APPALACHIAN DULCIMERS

> Autoharps, Zithers & Dulcimers> Appalachian Dulcimers
Descended from the Northern European zithers, the Appalachian Dulcimer developed in the Appalachian mountains of the Eastern USA, where it was used in old time music. Its popularity has spread because of its delicate sound, and the ease with which it can be played. An ideal instrument for song accompaniment.
