cimbalom| Musical instrument, a Hungarian pedestal dulcimer modernized during the 19th century from a gypsy instrument. It consists of a box-shaped resonator over which strings are stretched laterally, the performer playing front to back rather than across, using light beaters. The sound is brittle, not unlike a fortepiano. Composers include Stravinsky in Renard (1922) and Kodály in the orchestral suite Háry János (1927). |

| Ond yn y 270 mlynedd ers eu cyhoeddi mae'r casgliad wedi eu trefnu ar gyfer llinynnau, cimbaloms, y delyn ac hyd yn oed yr In recent years the company has also found increasing success with traditional ethnic instruments such as mandolins, mandolas, Irish bouzoukis, cobzas, domras, balalaikas, hammered dulcimers, Appalachian dulcimers, psalteries, cimbaloms, and panflutes. But, rather than being 'just' another album of flamboyant tunes for accordions, violins and cimbaloms (this time with the Haidouks' first-ever female player, Virginica Dumitru), Maskarada is an album with a much-needed twist: re-Gypsification. |
