Here you see J playing our hammered dulcimer. He's giving the strings a pluck which makes it sound like a harp. The little wooden mallet in his hand makes it sound softer. This is one of my favorite instruments, as you can have zero skill, sit down with the mallets, and sound like wind chimes. A profesional player was playing this at an antique faire, and he was kind enough to show us the basics. This instrument is too bulky for our road trip, but we'll be taking a penny whistle, fife, and recorder to flute some melodies at rest stops.
