The term MEDIEVAL STRUMMER is a combination of two words, MINSTREL and STRUMMER. A MINSTREL was a medieval musician who played a variety of instruments, including the lute, harp, and fiddle. A strummer is someone who plays a stringed instrument, such as a guitar or banjo, by strumming the strings with their fingers or a pick. Therefore, a MEDIEVAL STRUMMER would be someone who plays a stringed instrument in the style of a medieval MINSTREL.
