 review of Heribert Friedl-BACK_FORWARD at EARLabs
The concept was to use the hackbrett as basic source, but the use of the sounds are much different than in my collaboration work with Bernhard Günter.
In "back" the sound of the hackbrett is faintly processed and skillfully placed in space.

One is pictured in Praetorius' Syntagma Musicum (cite this if anyone has fits) and it was probably tuned with chromatic notes, since polyphony was much developed by 1521.
You can also call it a Hackbrett if you want, since Dulcimer may not be period.
It sounded a little less in tune (like a honkey tonk piano rather than a baby grand), and seemed to 'ring' less than the modern one, so you might want to tune the strings really good, then knock one or two out a tiny bit to be truly period.
