Pedal version of the instrument.
The cimbalom in the 19th century became the musical symbol of Hungarians striving for independence. Vencel József Schunda developed the simple cimbalom used in folk music into the pedal-cimbalom in 1874 for art musical purposes, and it acquired international renown through the musical activities of Ferenc Liszt and Aladár Rácz.
