A Dulcimer is a stringed instrument with a long, narrow body and typically a fretted fingerboard. It often has a distinct hourglass or rectangular shape, with two or more strings stretched over a wooden soundboard. The instrument is usually played by plucking the strings with the fingers or using a small mallet. Its design can vary, with some featuring decorative inlays or carvings.
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.
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.

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.
