found: Grove music online, Aug. 2, 2006(the player may hit the strings with hammers or pluck them with the fingers or a plectrum; many scholars reserve the term "dulcimer" for an instrument played with hammers, calling it a "psaltry" when the plucking technique is used: in the USA, where the hammer technique is normal, the term "hammer dulcimer" or "hammered dulcimer" has been coined to avoid confusion with the "Appalachian" or "mountain" dulcimer)
