Description: "The Dulcimore (mountain relative of the antique dulcimer) is a little-known, quaint instrument of the Tennessee mountains. Only a few of these remarkable instruments, plucked with a goose quill, are now extant. The art of playing them is almost extinct, but a few of the oldest mountaineers yet retaining the secret technique. The Dulcimore symbolizes an and a people fast being extinguished by industrial development and culture. The significance of this book is as an authentic historic study and document is not to be questioned"--Book jacket.
