People's Dictionary of the Bible
Dulcimer. A musical instrument similar to a bag-pipe like that in use at the present day among the peasants of northwestern Asa and southern Europe. Daniel 3:5; Daniel 3:10; Daniel 3:15. It was composed of two pipes with a leathern sack, and produced a harsh, screaming sound. It has no resemblance at all to the modern dulcimer.
