    Description

    This hand-held triangular shaped melody instrument is played with a bow. Extremely easy to play, the psaltery's haunting, ethereal tone is used effectively with chordal instruments or in solo playing. The instrument is set up like a piano with the white notes to the right and the sharps and flats to the left.  Most children and adults with very little musical experience can play simple tunes almost immediately.
    This Soprano bowed psaltery has 25 strings and is fully chromatic for 2 octaves. The lowest note is G above middle C. There are markers indicating the Cs and Gs.
    Size is 22" x 81/2" x 1 3/4" (with pins 2 1/2") and weighs 2 1/2 lbs depending on the wood.
    All solid wood construction. These instruments are not constructed of ply and are made entirely of solid hardwoods and quality tone woods giving you a beautiful sounding instrument!
    This particular instrument has a
    Spruce soundboard, Walnut back and sides and Curly Maple pin block facing.
    Made in the USA personally by James Jones
