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).

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.
