Dulcimer is an unpopular musical instrument in music, and there are very few people who train and learn it. Dulcimer is usually so unpopular because it is relatively easy to learn dulcimer, but it is very difficult to really master it. In contrast, the number of teachers and students in the dulcimer major is very small, so in terms of talent training, it is even more necessary to craft and teach students according to their aptitude.

Unpopular instrument dulcimer: easy to get started, hard to master

Dulcimer, also known as Yangqin, Daqin, Bronze qin, Fanqin, Pianbatqin, Butterfly Qin, is a percussion instrument. The dulcimer is an indispensable traditional musical instrument in Chinese cultural bands. It is a common percussion instrument in China. It is the same as the electronic piano. The ticking spring water has a sound like gurgling water when playing fast.

However, the dulcimer is very bulky and inconvenient to carry. Moreover, in the folk orchestra, the humanization of dulcimer is not as strong as that of erhu and bamboo flute. Moreover, although dulcimer is relatively quick to learn, it is very difficult to really master it. Various factors make dulcimer more and more niche.
