Hammered Dulcimer and Stroked Dulcimer
 

 The forerunner of the piano, the Dulcimer is usually played with a pair of small hammers(left).
Le dulcimer est l'ancêtre du piano et est plus normalement joué avec des marteaux (à gauche dans le photo).

However, a less common technique is to stroke the strings with the finger nails (right).
Cependant une autre technique est à caresser les cordes avec les ongles (à droite dans le photo).

Harmonic Flutes

 

The Harmonic Flute was the ancestor of all flutes.
Having no finger holes, the notes are made by overblowing and by stopping the end of the flute with the palm of the hand.
Thus, all notes are from the harmonic series, rather than from the normal, convential musical scale.

The instruments shown here are ceramic, hand made.
