Hummel (instrument)

The hummel (also hommel or humle) is an old Northern European 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.
