Description: Hammered Dulcimer : A History, Hardcover by Gifford, Paul M., ISBN 0810839431, ISBN-13 9780810839434, Brand New, Free shipping in the US When he began research, archivist and librarian Gifford (U. of Michigan-Flint) discovered that many cultures of the world have a version of the hammered dulcimer, and each considers it their own traditional native instrument. He traces its origins and subsequent history, emphasizing its place in American history and music. Except for the chronological chapters on the US, he treats each tradition under its native name, among them Hackbrett, cimbalom, salterio, and santur. He seems to have missed the Japanese butterfly entirely. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
