If anything with a keyboard is considered to be cousin to the piano, then an organ and an accordion are both cousins to the piano. If the method of creating sound from that keyboard is the measure of an instrument being cousin to a piano, then the hammered dulcimer, the clavichord, the harpsichord, and even the celesta would be cousins.
Almost any kind of music can be played on a dulcimer. I have heard folk, traditional, gospel, to Metalica on a Hammered Dulcimer. I have heard mostly folk, traditional, & gospel on a mountain dulcimer.
One can find tutorials on playing a Mountain Dulcimer in many different web pages. Some of them are Youtube, Gila Mountain Dulcimer and Dulcimer Crossing.
A banjo dulcimer is another name for a dulcijo, a three-stringed clawhammer banjo tuned like a dulcimer, with a shortened third string and a drum resonator.

An Appalachian dulcimer is a diatonically fretted and neckless string instrument, with three or four strings - a chordophone of the zither family.
The hammered dulcimer is considered to be part of the string instrument family. The reason for which the hammered dulcimer is considered a string instrument is due to the fact that it is composed of a set of strings stretched over a soundboard.
