Hummel (instrument) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Hummel (instrument)
The hummel (also hommel or humle) is an old Swedish stringed instrument similar to an older type of zither and is related to the Norwegian langeleik. The name is thought to come from the German word ''hummel'', meaning "bumblebee", referring to the droning sound created by the accompaniment strings. ==History== The hummel is probably from the Middle Ages, when it was found all over Europe in slightly differing variants. The instrument was common in the Netherlands, Flanders, Northern Germany and Denmark during the 18th century. The earliest evidence of the instrument in Swedish folk culture is from the 17th century, and it seems to have been most common in the southern parts of the country. During the 19th century, the hummel was considered to be a primitive peasant instrument and its popularity dwindled. In Flanders, these instruments were popular with soldiers in the trenches during World War I, but by the 1930s they returned to obscurity. Some enthusiasts have taken up playing it again since the folk revival of the 1970s.〔Boone Hubert, De hommel in de Lage Landen, Instrumentenmuseum en Volksmuziekarchief - Brussel, 1976〕
