About the application:

Trapezoid is an good Hammered Dulcimer apk for Android. Written by an experienced Hammered Dulcimer user, this virtual dulcimer sounds and plays like the true thing! The Hammered Dulcimer is a famous stringed instrument for American folk melody and traditional Irish melody. The true instrument is played with two little wooden hammers that are used to strike the strings. The apk works exactly the same method, except using your fingers. Quick response and a large sound create this dulcimer apk like no other. Trapezoid emulates a 12/11-style Hammered Dulcimer. 12/11 means there are 12 bridges on the Treble (left) side of the instrument, 11 bridges on the Bass (right) side of the instrument. The left side of the Treble bridge is 5 scale tones above the right (a fifth). To play, just touch the strings on either side of the left (Treble) bridge or the left side of the right (Bass) bridge just like the true instrument. To play a scale, begin on any white bridge marker, play 4 notes up the same bridge, then switch to the another side of the bridge at the white marker where you started and play up 4 more notes. If you begin on the Bass bridge, switch to the white marker on the right side of the Treble bridge. To receive repeated note "drag roll" effects as are done on the reed instrument, drag quickly horizontally across the strings. The sensitivity of the drag result may be set in the control panel. Touch the "?" on the upper left corner to present the note names for the strings. Touch the "i" to bring up the settings screen where you can enable or disable the drag roll feature and set the roll sensitivity for how far you need to drag to receive the roll effect. On this screen you can switch between Stereo (default) and Mono sound. Set the switch to Stereo for the highest quality experience or for use with headphones or an external amplifier. Set the switch to Mono if the audio hardware on your smartphone or smartphone only plays sound to the speaker from either the right or left channel. Some low-end tablets have this limitation. Touch the button below the "?" to toggle between Standard and Michigan (octave) tuning. Touch the "Shhh" button on the upper right corner to quiet all the strings. Because of the really big number of strings that can be played, the apk works best on the larger screen Android device phones and tablet. Samples of Wes Chappell's unbelievable Hammered Dulcimer provided by Jesse Chappell at ThumbJam.com. The instrument was built by James Jones, from Bedford, VA. Hammered Dulcimers are found in a lot of forms worldwide including the Cimbalom in Eastern Europe, the Santur in Iran, Iraq, and India, and the Yangqin in China.
