    Bowed Psaltery

    Sounds like a violin but easier to play.

    Play this instrument with a bow along each edge to produce sweet melodies. Each string is a different note, played separately, with all the natural notes on the right side and the sharps/flats along the left. Very simple to learn.

    Bowed Psaltery Specs
    Beautiful instrument
    Amazingly, I was drawn to the bowed psaltery by memories of the very same as the previous reviewer, a Trapezoid concert decades ago with member Lorraine Duisit playing bowed psaltery as they entered (playing "Now is the Cool of the Day" I think.) Trapezoid being my only reference for sound, I can say I'm 100% pleased with this instrument for resonant tone and beautiful design. It arrived in perfect shape, assembled, with tuning almost perfect. It's a fun instrument to just pick up and play anytime. I'm keeping this site in mind for future purchases.

    Bowed Psaltery
    Decades ago I was captivated by the sound of a bowed psaltery played by the American folk band, Trapezoid, as they entered the concert hall. I have never forgotten the haunting and ethereal sound. So when I saw the bowed psaltery on this website, it called to me until I ordered one. I'm so very glad I did. I play harp and had no experience with bowed instruments but, as described, it is simple to learn and enjoy. The sound is what I remembered and instrument itself is absolutely beautifully made.
