A large chromatic hammered dulcimer, the cymbalom is the national instrument of Hungary. It is traditionally played with a hammer (small mallet) in each hand. My technique springs from what I call "bowhammers". I wear eight -- one on each finger. The ends are fitted with three inch sections of violin bow. With the addition of thumb picks, this approach enables three attacks: striking, plucking and bowing. To the best of my knowledge, it's never been used before.
