Cimbaly - Tsimbaly - Hammered Dulcimer and Aeolian Harp Shop

Tsimbaly/Cimbaly are Hammered Dulcimers originating from Ukraine and Belarus. The tuning is quite different from that of a Hammered Dulcimer. The instrument has a very nice logical chromatic layout though (unlike Dulcimer). The instruments are not large like Cimbaloms but much more of a Dulcimer size. This makes them highly portable and extremly versatile. So popular are they that in Belarus many children learn them at a very young age and become highly proficiant players.
