An electric dulcimer is a dulcimer that uses an electric pickup to amplify its sound, similar to an electric guitar. They come in a number of different sizes, styles, and types. The most common type is the electric Appalachian dulcimer, but electric hammered dulcimers also exist. The Dulcicaster is a common example of an electric dulcimer, made by Quintin Stephens.[citation needed]
The Rolling Stones[edit]
In 1966, Brian Jones had his electric dulcimer stolen in Washington, D.C., and it is claimed it was the only one in existence at that time.[1] The photo in The Washington Post article shows an instrument about a meter long with 4 strings which is shaped like an elongated violin.[1]
