The psalmodicon (psalmodikon or salmodikon) is a stringed musical instrument; the most common variants have a single string. It was developed in Scandinavia for simplifying music in churches and schools, and as an alternative to the fiddle for sacred music. The instrument could be plucked or bowed. Beginning in the early 19th century, it was adopted by many rural churches in Scandinavia; later, immigrants brought the instrument to the United States.

  • Ein Psalmodikon (auch Psalmodicon, Salmodikon) ist ein Saiteninstrument (Chordophon nach der Hornbostel-Sachs-Systematik) welches seinen Ursprung und den skandinavischen Ländern Norwegen, Schweden und Finnland hat. Es wurde vorrangig für geistliche Musik verwendet und profanen Instrumenten wie Geige und Blasinstrumenten vorgezogen. Das Instrument galt als einfach und billig herstellbar und war leicht erlernbar. Die Erfindung wird meist dem Pastor Johan Dillner (1785–1862) zugeordnet, was aber von vielen Stellen angezweifelt wird. Unstrittig ist, dass Dillner sehr zur Verbreitung des Instruments beitrug und sehr viel Literatur dazu verfasste. (de)

La caisse de résonance est constituée d'un parallélépipède légèrement en forme de losange. (fr)

Beginning in the early 19th century, it was adopted by many rural churches in Scandinavia; later, immigrants brought the instrument to the United States. At the time, many congregations could not afford organs. Dance instruments were considered inappropriate for sacred settings, so violins were not allowed. The psalmodikon, on the other hand, was inexpensive to build, was not used for dancing, took up little space, and could be played by people with little musical training. Its slow, melodic quality worked well with the hymns of the period. Examples of older printed music from these churches often have numbers written over the words, corresponding to numbers painted on the fret board of the psalmodikon. This system, known as siffernotskrift, allowed players who could not read standard musical notation to accompany hymns. As churches saved money for organs, however, psalmodikons became less common; by the late 20th century, they were rarely seen outside museums. In later years, however, the instrument was reintroduced by multi-instrumentalist folk musicians. (en)
  • Ett psalmodikon är ett musikinstrument. Det är ett slags förenklat långspel som spelas med stråke men ibland istället knäppes. Det utgörs av en långsmal resonanslåda med oftast en men ibland två och någon gång flera melodisträngar spända över en greppbräda mellan översadel och stränghållare eller undersadel och löper över ett stall. Kallas ibland för psalmonika, psalmodikum, notstock mm. I Gagnef, Dalarna, finns fler exemplar med tre stämskruvar - dock monterades ibland två strängar av för att förenkla inlärningen. En del saknar resonanssträngar medan andra har två eller fyra och inte sällan upp till 12 resonanssträngar (sv)
  • O Psalmodicon é um instrumento musical com uma única corda que deve ser tocada de forma friccionada, que foi desenvolvido na Escandinávia para simplificar a música nas igrejas e escolas e fornecer uma alternativa ao violino para a música sacra. À época, instrumentos de dança eram considerados inadequados para ambientes sagrados, então violinos não eram permitidos. O psalmodikon, por outro lado, era barato de construir, não era usado para dançar, ocupava pouco espaço e podia ser tocado por pessoas com pouca formação musical. Sua qualidade lenta e melódica funcionou bem com os hinos da época. O instrumento pode ser dedilhado ou curvado. A partir do início do Século XIX, foi adotado por muitas igrejas rurais na Escandinávia; mais tarde, os imigrantes trouxeram o instrumento para os Estados Unidos. À medida que as igrejas passaram a economizar dinheiro para os órgãos, no entanto, os psalmodikons tornaram-se menos comuns; no final do Século XX, eles raramente eram vistos fora dos museus. Nos anos posteriores, no entanto, o instrumento foi reintroduzido por músicos folclóricos multi-instrumentistas. (pt)
