There was a superb Gypsie duo who played Cimbalom and violin in the Little
Bucharest resturant in Atlanta (now defunct). The instrument looked like a
giant hammer dulcimer as rendered by Steinway or Baldwin. The music was very
fast and it's easy to image klezmer tunes sounding delightful on those two
instruments. The one I saw was massive, not a readily portable instrument.
If you can refer me to CDs, I'd be grateful.
