more strings were added. and after a

cithara was in the shape of the letter

1t took many centuries for musicians
to get the idea of stretching the strings
across an open box. but somewhere
about the year 1900 this was thought
OF. and the dulcimer made its appear

hammers.
= For another hundred years these
hammers were held in the hand of the
player, and then a genius invented a
keyboard. which. being struck by the
fingers. moved the hammers.
This instrument Was called a claw

underwent some notifications and i'm

Queen Elizabeth's time it was called a
