The bowed psaltery I have never seen before. The sound is outstanding. Your other instruments sounds very warm and lovely. The Banjo remembers on its roots in Africa. I'm deeply impressed, from your canto too. Everything is so naturally.

Was that 'wayfaring stranger' on the flute?

Yes, you named that tune! It works really well in the flutes pentatonic minor scale...

what is the range of the mouth bow. does it go up higher than an octave or even a few notes, or does it rely on singing and the position of your mouth?

What a good question. Technically the mouth bow only plays a single fundamental, & all the melody notes are overtones created by the relative size of your mouth --like the jaw harp, the bigger your mouth (oral cavity) the lower the overtone. I've never tried to test the range, but I'm guessing it's a little over an octave. Search on "Buffy Sainte-Marie" & you'll get some great mouth bow stuff. She flexes the bow to loosen the string and get a lower note. She's the best.
