A banjo dulcimer is an Appalachian dulcimer modified by adding a vibrating membrane to the body of the instrument. This changes the tone and volume of the instrument, operating on the same principle as the banjo. Homer Ledford, a luthier during the early part of the revival of the dulcimer, built several banjo dulcimers, which he called the ''dulcijo'' (portmanteau of "dulcimer" and "banjo").〔Alvey, R.
