Subject: RE: Bob Stewart - where is he now?
That 'psaltery' is, in fact, a harpeleik, one of which we used on our most recent CD. It's a Swedish form of the psaltery. Tom used to work with Bob so was very familiar with it, and when one came up on eBay recently for an astonishingly small sum, we couldn't resist it. It has an absolutely stunning sound, and Bob is/was undoubtedly a superb player. Sad if he's no longer playing it. It can be a wonderful instrument for accompanying songs.
