That's one of the two completely different kinds of dulcimer :-)

That's a hammered dulcimer ... the other kind is the Appalachian Dulcimer, which is the kind that an American would be more likely to know ... http://www.eaglemusicshop.com/details1.asp?ProductID=4814&name=ozark-appalachian-dulcimer.htm

Here's a video of the 2006 Louisiana State Dulcimer Champion. Music starts at 1:20.

There's also a bowed dulcimer which is sort of like the Appalachian dulcimer, but played more like a cello.
