Anybody know what this is? It came from an individual who also owned a harp and a bowed psaltery.
Thank you ladies!

That's a lovely dulcimer. Do you know what woods it's made from? |

It looks just like one of the four we own. So much fun to hear Scott's-Irish folk music played on them. They use them a lot in the Apalachian mountains.we used to know a maker. I made a quilt for them which they used at folk festivals. My husband and sons each made their own. I really enjoyed the festivals.

Yep, a mountain dulcimer. I have one as well. I play it with a whittled stick.

That is a Dulcimer. It is a mountain dulcimer. I've often thought about getting one. You can make beautiful music with it.
You can read about it here.
