'The sound of the cimbalom is also typical of Austrian "Schrammel" music'

I should have said "Viennese". I may be wrong about the cimbalom (or Hackbrett?) being typical of this genre. Nothing about it in the German Wikipedia article. I think I heard it, though, the last time I heard some on the radio (a very rare occurrence).
