I've owned a number of different bowed psaltries. Hands down, yours is the best-voiced, and loudest instrument. Yours is also one of the few instruments that goes down to the middle C.
And, when I find other psaltery players, I recommend that they pick up one of your bows. The distance from the hand-hold to the strings is longer than most, which makes playing the low notes easier, and the "cord" hair (rather than a ribbon of hair) gives a more confident sound.
that's a very nice instrument:) i have a 42 strings bowed psaltery from waynie boed psaltery but have no idea how to tune it. do you think that piano tuners would be a good help???
Why not check with the builder for tuning instructions and assistance? We provide a tuning chart with our bowed psaltery, and we have electronic tuners available.
cool!
