The Cimbalom from Paweł Lechowski Collection

The cimbalom, descending from a traditional Persian instrument called the santür, is closely related to the dulcimer found in England and the Hackbrett in Germany. It has a trapezoidal shape with strings (for example metal wires) stretched across a wooden sounding board, one to four strings for each note.
