Thanks for a great video. I’m considering building a cimbalom. Looks like your cimbalom is made of wood only. Normaly they got an iron frame inside to assist the big pressure from the strings. Will it stay in tune without the iron frame?
Watch and learn my friend. Where did you get your information, the cimbalom is a Romanian music instrument...forget about it .Most famous cimbalom maker is a Hungarian maker, Lajos Bohak. And if we go back at the past it has got aa Persian origin.History of the cimbalom какие бывают ножовки купити китайский планшет в україні The cimbalom has an Asian origin. This trapezium instrument had different names in different countries like santur, qanun, yanchin, e.t.c. It came to Europa during the great migrations and it became a very popular instrument in the 14th, 15th and 16th century in lots of countries. Every country named the instrument differently: in German region “Hackbrett”, in English region “ hammered dulcimer”, in French region “tympanon”, in Italian and Spanish region “salterio” and in the Hungarian language “cimbalom”. In Hungary the instrument was already used plucked and hammered. In the 18th and 19th century the gypsies musicians took over the cimbalom and created by their many movements a typical “town music”. From this moment wrongly named “typical Hungarian folks music” and the idea was born that the cimbalom is a gipsy instrument. The really typical Hungarian folks music was played in the isolated villages, where the cimbalom was used also. After the war of independence (1848) the cimbalom was occupied as one of the national’s symbols. So Ferenc Erkel - who was the founder of the Hungarian opera - used the cimbalom the first time in the Hungarian classical music. This opera “Bánk bán” had his premier in 1861. In relation of his enormously success József V.Schunda instruments maker reformed the cimbalom. He chanced the instrument from 2 and half octave till 4 and half with pedals like by the piano. Such a large instrument needed legs. This new “Hungarian” cimbalom was showed in 1874. Géza Allaga was the founder of the literature of this instrument. He founded the first school for it, too. From 1890 he was the cimbalom teacher at the National Music school in Budapest. More and more composers wrote music for the Hungarian cimbalom. From 1897 it was possible to study this instrument at the Academy of the Music in Budapest. The teacher was László Kun, who was a student of Allaga. At the turn of the century the cimbalom was tought in every town all over Hungary. In the beginning of the XX th century Debussy and Stravinsky composed also for this Hungarian instrument
Hungarians as emigrant people since 800 A C assimilated a lot of traditions from romanians then later considered that are of them. The hungarian traditional music too has its derivations from romanian traditional music. I think indeed that kurtos kalacs and paprika belong to hungarians.

This musical instrument is romanian, not hungarian. They took it from romanians that use it widely.

It was used in China and India way before Europe, I think. It's everybody's now
