Mine (Zimbabwean 🇿🇼) is the mbira.

For a feel of the sound: https://youtu.be/R5RMYh-n3LU

Jah Prayzah the guy singing is a renowned musician.

They seem to be using the mbira in modernized covers, but the metal pestle order seem the same as the more traditional looking ones.

P/S I’m not self promoting the YouTube link. It just shows how the mbira sounds unedited.

      Wow, that’s awesome.

      Had I only heard it I would’ve thought some kind of spinet.

      Thanks for the link, those young ladies can play!

      It’s an ancient instrument, first depictions are from 600BC Assyria, arrived via Greek and Roman culture to Europe. Common name is hammered dulcimer and it has countless versions for each region of the world, with more or less distinctive features. E.g. Hungarian cimbalom had a pedal, in some regions the strings are vertical,etc.

        This is Switzerland.
        And the instrument is actually called Hackbrett (translates to hacking board).

            Sorry, the type of instrument is from Salzburg.
