Rare antique music instrument donated to Glasgow Oxfam Music could raise 'thousands'

Music fans in Glasgow and across the country are being given the chance to bid on a rare antique Cimbalom at Oxfam’s Music Shop on Byres Road.

The Hungarian Cimbalom, which was made in 1904 by master craftsman Mogyoróssy Gyula, was donated to the shop by a member of the public.

The instrument is a hammer dulcimer, meaning it is played by striking the strings with small hammers. Included with the instrument are one of the original hammers and two newer ones as well as a tuning key.
