The last quarter of the twentieth-century saw a renewed interest in
the hammered dulcimer in the United States at the grassroots level
as well as from elements of the Folk Revival. This book offers the
reader a discussion of the medieval origins of the dulcimer and its
subsequent spread under many different names to other parts of the
world. Drawing on articles the author has written in English as
well as articles by specialists in their own languages, Gifford
explains the history and evolution of the instrument. Special
attention is paid to the North American tradition from the early
18th-century to the 1970s revival. Drawing from local histories,
news clippings, photographs, and interviews, the book examines the
playing of the dulcimer and its associated social meanings.
