The Master Works Bowed Psaltery is possibly the most innovative Bowed Psaltery built. Light weight (approximately 2 1/2 lbs.) and easy to hold, you can enjoy hours of music comfortably on a Master Works Psaltery. A pre-stressed finger-jointed frame of hard maple accompanied by the uniquely supported soundboard guarantees a durable and accurately hand crafted Psaltery that will provide, not only years, but decades of reliable musical service. Master Works Psalteries have a logically located "fingerhole" in the upper back to insure safe and comfortable control as you play or transport your beautiful new Psaltery. Each instrument is carefully inspected for accurate hitch pin height to insure smooth movements of the bow from note to note. Thirty string with varying gauges provide strong consistent tone throughout its fully chromatic range of F above middle C to third Bb above middle C. Of course, all Bowed Psalteries come with the beautiful Harrison Rose soundhole inlay.  Each instrument comes with a tuning wrench, string gauge chart and tuning scheme, rosin, and a Master Works bow made of real Mongolian horsehair. Master Works backs all of their instruments with a 2 year limited warranty. You will discover the excitement of making beautifully haunting music incredibly quick and easy on an individually handcrafted Master Works Bowed Psaltery.

Described in "The Silva Gadelicia", there is an obscure musical instrument favoured by the Aos Sí and master musicians of Ireland's past. With various descriptions, what actually was it? In this article, I attempt to find out.

Building a Bowed Psaltery, From Start to Finish

Go to the link below to hear a sound sample of me playing this size bowed psaltery. https://on.soundcloud.com/ASP1d This hand-held triangular shaped melody instrument is played with a bow. Extremely easy to play, the psaltery's haunting, ethereal tone is used effectively with chordal instruments or in solo playing. The instrument is set up like a piano with the white notes to the right and the sharps and flats to the left. Most children and adults with very little musical experience can play simple tunes almost immediately. This Alto bowed psaltery has 30 strings, 3/4" pin spacing, with all wound strings which gives the instrument a beautiful full bodied tone. The instrument is fully chromatic for 2 1/2 octaves with the lowest note G3 and the highest C6. There are markers indicating the Cs and Gs. (see photo of tuning chart) This size is 22 1/2” X 8” X 2” (2 3/4" with pins) with a weight of approximately 3 lbs depending on the wood. All solid wood construction. What you see is what you get. This instrument is not constructed of ply and is made entirely of solid hardwoods and quality tone woods giving you a great sounding instrument! This size psaltery is still quite comfortable to play given your average arm length. Because of its full sound and greater more usable range, this is my most popular model. Made in the USA personally by James Jones Price includes: Soft case with a separate pocket for your bow, rosin and tuning wrench Genuine horsehair bow 15" in length (bow wood may vary) Owner's Manual, Tuning/String Gauge Chart Rosin Quality tuning wrench Note for overseas customers: The shipping charges shown is the maximum I would charge. If shipping ends up to be less, I will reimburse the excess.

This right-handed rounded psaltery has 22 strings, ranging from C5 - A6. Constructed with a spruce soundboard on a body of lacewood. The single sound hole features an intricately carved Sheesham rosette. It ships with a psaltery bow, tuning tool, and rosin.The Bowed Psaltery is a beautiful-sounding melody instrument producing a clear and ethereal sound. The psaltery is also very easy to play.  The psaltery bow is held in the dominant hand and only one string is played at a time, being bowed between the Hitch Pins. You may choose to play your psaltery with two bows, one in each hand.  With that technique, each bow plays one side of the instrument.Playing the Psaltery may seem daunting until you understand the placement of the notes.  Look at the psaltery and you will see the Hitch Pins along one side are evenly spaced (like white keys on a piano). On the opposite side, the Hitch Pins are arranged in groups of 3 and 2 with spaces between (like the black keys on a piano).  Bowing the evenly spaced strings plays the natural notes. Sharps and flats are played by reaching the bow over to the opposite side of the instrument.  A Right-Handed Psaltery has natural notes on the right side, and a Left-Handed Psaltery has natural notes on the left side.The Bow must be rosined before it can play the strings.  To rosin up the bow, and rough up the surface of the new rosin, a key or nail file works well. Rosin the ends of the hairs first, in short, fast strokes, then rosin the full length from end to end.  Rotate the rosin cake under the hairs as you drag the bow across.  This rotation will maintain a flat surface and prevent a deeply grooved rosin which can damage bow hairs.  A properly rosined bow will have rosin powder evenly distributed throughout the hair.  Never handle the hair of the bow with your hands. Oils from your skin will leave permanent slick spots that will inhibit the retention of the resin powder.Clean your bow with a soft dry cloth after each use. Occasionally, wipe the playing area of the strings. Rosin which is allowed to accumulate too heavily, especially on the undersides of the strings, will adversely affect the tone and playability of the instrument.  The Roosebeck Microfiber Polishing Cloth is sold separately and is perfect for cleaning the bow (item code RBSMFPI).Broken or loose hairs are not uncommon and will not affect the playing characteristics of the bow. If hair breaks do not pluck it out. Carefully cut the hair, leaving a little bit at both ends.Body/Bowl: 15.5" L X 1.5"H X 5.5" W. Strings at Bridge: 4" wide. Scale length: 13 inches.Tuning:C5 - A6.Longest string length: 13".Accessories Included:Psaltery Bow.Tuning Tool.Rosin.SPECIAL NOTE ON STRINGS:There is no warranty on strings. Manufacturers recommend that you change the strings on your instrument as soon as you receive it. Your instrument has completed a long journey before it ever begins the final leg of your home. During this time the elements affect the strings and may shorten their lifespan. It occasionally happens that a string will fail during that final leg of the journey. Therefore, it is recommended that you purchase a replacement set of strings and consider changing your strings soon after it arrives. If you are a student you may want to change your strings every 3-4 months. If you are a rock star you may need to change your strings every week. If you store your instrument, you should consider changing the strings when you pick it up again. *What is BLEMISHED?  Our product codes ending in "-1(S)" or "-2(S)" are blemished.
