Plucked Psalteries
Background
The Plucked Psaltery has its origins in ancient harps and lyre zithers like the Greek Epigonion, in medieval period it become the Instrumento de porco and was played against the chest.
My current Psaltery design is a simple compact instrument 24" /604mm long that plays either in the key of G with Fluorocarbon Strings for a harp like sound or Strung with Yellow Brass wire strings to create an instrument in the Key of D
15 Strings G4 to G6 with Fluorcarbon strings or D4 to D6 with Brass
Construction
This instrument is constructed like my finest Kanteles with dense beechwood sections for the tuning pins, solid hardwood sides and back with spruce, pine or Cedar Soundboard. The Rosette is a Celtic knot weave pattern, Finishes can be natural, stained oak, dark brown or black. If you want an alternative pitch or tuning custom orders are possible.
I make these instruments in a variety of domestic timbers from £550 in G, cases available, an extra £100 plus shipping for more information pleas see my etsy listing or get back to me.
