Unidentified dulcimer in Stranger's Hall Museum, Norwich

This photo and the following description was published in the Eastern Daily Press newspaper:

"A recent addition to the collection at the Strangers Hall museum in 1964 was this Norfolk hammer or hammered dulcimer, seen in the foreground. The instrument is played either by striking the string with a small hammer or plucking it with a hooked rod.

(The instrument in the background is an accordzither a musical hybrid combining keys and strings made by the Dresden firm of Muller.)"
