The hackbrett is a musical instrument with struck strings found in Germanic countries. The term is attested as early as 1447 in Switzerland and means "hitting board". Over the decades it has become a purely folk instrument. Its functioning is similar to that of its peers: it consists of striking strings with two hammers, like an archaic piano. It comes in various varieties, confined to local folklore. Its shapes vary: trapezium, half trapezium, rectangle or "wings", all with the particularity of having huge gills and rosettes.
