Hammered dulcimer? A beautiful instrument he has there.

Thanks for participating and yes, Julie and Kathleen, it's a dulcimer. Our friend has researched his family tree extensively and when he found out that his great, great grandfather used to make dulcimers in Suffolk in the mid 19th C he first went for a lesson and then bought his own dulcimer which he is learning to play.

@darylo

It would be a bit torturous for me to learn to play the dulcimer!

In German its a "Hackbrett" which is not half as nice a name as "Zuidewind lelie" @pyrrhula

@khirsch Thanks Karin. It`s a very nice flower for the vase/water as it will stay/live for a long time.
