If one is talking about the sound generator, then a hammer Dulcimer is =
the answer (the gipsy ones eve have  dampers.) If the way the sound is =
produced is considered, the clavichord is the answer : it's got hammers, =
sort of "keyboard hammer Dulcimer".
And, at least historically, the question is a sensible one.

(i.e. : what's inside a "prepared piano" ?  A piano, the poor guy...! =
<grin>)

My clavichord has come back from its 6 months trip to Holland, and I am =
wrestling with its Werckmeister II temperament.  Anyone has a clue as to =
why such a temperament on this particular instrument ? (in a clavichord, =
the temperament is determined by its construction : some strings will =
produce two different notes. Simply changing the tuning does not =
help...)   =20

Jean Debefve -not an expert. Happy new year to everyone.=20
