The dulcimer (or psaltery) consisted of a flat box, acting as a resonating chamber, over which strings of wire were stretched: These were struck by little hammers.

About Dulcimers
from Australian Susan on Tue 24 May 2005,
Dulcimer
What Sam saw was a hammered dulcimer (see http://www.rtpnet.org/~hdweb/ ) Not to be confused with the plucked Mountain Dulcimer more commonly seen in the USA (e.g.http://www.everythingdulcimer.com/)
"...I first saw a dulcimere played on with sticks knocking of the strings, and is very pretty..." Sam Pepys
