Second picture
At the request of members I now give the title and result of this instrument
Malgo, Robert, Gert are the people who knew the musical instrument
Hammered dulcimer.
The hammered dulcimer is a stringed instrument. The hammered dulcimer is related to the zither, the cimbalom (also cymbalom or cembalo) and the dulcimer.
The instrument is played with hammers and is usually trapezoidal. There is also a dulcimer that is played exclusively with the fingers, the mountain dulcimer. This is called dulcimer in Europe.
See also apalachian dulcimer and the bumblebee (musical instrument). This is played with a plectrum. This instrument is played all over the world. The dulcimer is the Western European variant of this instrument and is played a lot again these days.
Walking in Bruges 2019 on Saturday afternoon with camera in hand.

Hello John,
That is indeed an unusual instrument the woman is playing. I tried to search the internet for an explanation, but there are soooo many instruments I never heard of. It's a good photo with the old brick walls as a nice background. It would have been interesting if you had gone behind the woman's back to take a close photo of her hands and the tool she is holding, just so we could see how she was using it. But it's too late now!
Kind regards,
Gert

Witaj John!
An interesting street scene, the musicians are impressive.
I think that this instrument is dulcimer from the chordophone group.
Good framing, colors and light.
I like this picture from daily life.
Good evening.

John, two musicians are playing sitting in the cobbled street against a backdrop of historical red bricks buildings. I don't know the name of the instrument on the left, the boy is an accordionist. Fine colors, sharp shot

Hi John
That string instrument looks really unique and special - never seen before and what a beautiful classic place when you're are serenaded by these obliging musicians. This look so restful, great detail and such wonderful colours. Excellent street shot, Congrats

Hallo John,
De accordeon herken ik maar het andere snaarinstrument ziet er bijzonder uit en heb ik nooit eerder gezien, Ik ben benieuwd hoe het klonk. Een goede foto van dit muzikale duo, de oude, bakstenen gevels vormen een mooi achtergrond.

Bonjour, cher ami John,
L'instrument semble s'apparenter à une sorte cithare en plus complexe, quoi qu'il en soit, cela doit être très intéressant d'entendre cet instrument accompagné de l'accordéon.
Bon sujet comme de'habitude.
Très bonne journée.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hallo John,
Inderdaad, een zeer eigenaardig snaarinstrument. Mogelijk is het een zelfgemaakt instrument. Er zijn instrumentenbouwers die heel creatief aparte muziekinstrumenten bouwen die slechts door weinigen bespeeld worden.
Mooie scherpe voorstelling met een stukje historisch Brugge op de achtergrond.
Vele groeten, Paul

Hello John,
The people look like from Russia or Ukraine, so probably this instrument is from there. I will check later. And no problem with the sound, you can upload your video on youtube and then give a link. Charming vie of these musicians.
Kind regards MAlgo
I have found and how I couldn't recogni=ze it at one. These are Tsymbaly, in English hammered dulcimer. It was played also in Poland.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsymbaly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r78O6UMDgDs

Hi John
I actually prefer the WS Photo, as you mentioned it has more of the bg with people in a boat floating past on the water, thats an excellent shot :) But this is as well, with the stone buildings in the bg. the instrument she is playing looks like a board game :) I don't know what it is. fine posts here
cheers

Dag John The lady was playing a DULCIMER; they hit the strings with small hammers, one in each hand, and the tonality is quite melodious and loud. These people seem to play just for the pleasure of the passers-by because I can not see any 'hat' dropped off in front of them! Lovely scenery for a romantic mood! Groeten

Hello John
I like the soft pastel colours and diffused lighting. Good sharpness and the 2 young musician provide excellent focal points. The selective focus and shallow dof work well here. Tfs!

Well, this was a very interesting post ! I really wanted to know what the instrument was, so I read all the critiques until I came to the anwser.
Now that Malgo and Robert have enlightened us, perhaps you could edit your note, so that everybody can know what it is, if they haven’t got time to read all the critiques :-)
Anyway, I love both pictures, not only for the great cymbalum or dulcimer, but also for the intense look of both musicians. They really seem to love doing what they are doing.
Apart from that John, I entirely agree with everything Malgo and Gert have said about you staying on the site.
Thanks to your photos, we’ll get to know the rich jewel that Bruges is, like the back of our hand :-)
We would really miss it if we stopped seeing those beautiful and ever new street scenes.
It seems it’s a really busy, dynamic city, with always something new to discover, and I am sure you’ll find food for your posts forever.
You know Brenda (Worldcitizen) of course. She only ever posts pictures from New York city, but she’ll never be out of material:-)
Plus, we don’t want to miss your friendliness.
Kindest regards to you and your beloved wife.
Marie-Louise.
