The hammered dulcimer — and its many cousins found in folk traditions across the globe — continues to captivate with its bright, resonant tone. Whether echoing through a medieval festival, adding sparkle to a street performance, or bringing a touch of authenticity to a film score, the dulcimer has a distinct sound that cuts through with percussive clarity and shimmering decay.

This sample library is built for both folk enthusiasts and media composers looking to add expressive, folkish character to their music. It features not just the core dulcimer sounds you’d expect, but also offers a range of expressive options: different mallet types, an extended range, and unusual techniques like frame hits, soft articulations, and creative sound effects.

With multiple velocity layers and carefully mapped articulations, this is a dulcimer that’s ready for traditional scoring or sound design experimentation.
