What's one musical instrument locally from your country?

Mine (Zimbabwean 🇿🇼) is the mbira.
For a feel of the sound: https://youtu.be/R5RMYh-n3LU
Jah Prayzah the guy singing is a renowned musician.
They seem to be using the mbira in modernized covers, but the metal pestle order seem the same as the more traditional looking ones.
P/S I'm not self promoting the YouTube link. It just shows how the mbira sounds unedited.
Das Salzburger Hackbrett
Nice! Which country is this and what's the name of the instrument the 2 ladies are playing?
This is Switzerland.
And the instrument is actually called Hackbrett (translates to hacking board).
Why is it called Salzburg but is from Switzerland? Or is there a Salzburg in Switzerland, I am only aware of the one in Austria.
Sorry, the type of instrument is from Salzburg.
The recorded concert and the musicians are from Switzerland.
That's excellent, and those two in particular look to be extremely talented!
It's an ancient instrument, first depictions are from 600BC Assyria, arrived via Greek and Roman culture to Europe. Common name is hammered dulcimer and it has countless versions for each region of the world, with more or less distinctive features. E.g. Hungarian cimbalom had a pedal, in some regions the strings are vertical,etc.
