Description
A musical hammer is a percussion instrument that is played by striking strings with a hammer. It is a member of the dulcimer family, and is closely related to the hammered dulcimer and the santur.
The musical hammer typically has a trapezoidal soundboard with strings stretched across it. The strings are arranged in groups of two or three, and are tuned to different pitches. The hammer is used to strike the strings, which produces a bright, ringing sound.
The musical hammer is a versatile instrument that can be used to play a variety of genres of music, including folk, classical, and jazz. It is often used in accompaniment with other instruments, such as the fiddle, guitar, and banjo.
