The Appalachian mountain dulcimer is a fretted stringed instrument of the zither family. It’s closest European ancestor is felt to be the German scheitholt. The mountain dulcimer was “born” in the Appalachian Mountains in the early 1800s. It was, and remains, a major contributor to the development and spread of traditional music of the Southern Appalachians
The Asheville Dulcimer Orchestra is a group of 18 Appalachian Mountain Dulcimer players. Come hear the group play a varied program that includes music from many classical periods, as well popular and traditional music
