Ukrainian Cymbaly at Pirogovo Architecture Park in Kiev, Ukraine

Beautiful video of the folk instrument cymbalom, a hammered dulcimer. The cimbalom is (typically) played by striking two beaters against the strings. The steel treble strings are arranged in groups of 4 and are tuned in unison. The bass strings which are over-spun with copper, are arranged in groups of 3 and are also tuned in unison.
