There are numerous medieval illustrations of plucked psalteries with this characteristic "pig-snout" shape. They were popular through the Renaissance and Baroque periods, sometimes quite decoratively ornamented with rosettes and painted trim. You'll be impressed with the tone and volume of this instrument--it is not just a toy. Use it for performing, especially in period musical productions. We include a set of six songsheets that slide right under the strings to help you learn to play it. This psaltery is designed by Musicmakers and constructed by The Crimson Cricket, here in London, Ontario. It is a beautifully finished instrument anyone can play. The sound is pleasant and melodic.
