I shall almost definitely play it with a curtsey!Wow! Thanks fro such brilliant information. I feel like such an eejit, of course you would need to bow on just one string!! Very interesting to explore the information here. I will learn more about the differences between the instruments. I'm going to experiment with a dulcimer sound by playing with spoons ( cool) and now off to check out bowed psaltreys on ebay. I think the performance I saw the guy told me it was a zither and he may have removed some of the strings???? It looked like a zither-one of those ones in russian paintings that is black with a rose painted on it and a harp shape.
