Thread Name: bowed psaltry
Subject: bowed psaltery
I heard a bowed psaltery last weekend at the Dayton Dulcimer Society's "Dulcimer Doin's" and rather than being the vermin-repelling, dog-torturing instrument I had heard before, what I heard last weekend was quite beautiful. Has anyone built the Musicmaker's Kits version? Or are there other recommended sources for bowed psalterys and construction plans? At the least, I imagine learning to play one of these would help keep our racoon hordes at bay.
