psalters



My son loves the study of different cultures
and inherited a love for antiques and old instruments.

we came across a psalter similar to one my husband and
I purchased just recently. my son loves music and he
is the type that can teach himself to play.

the psalter is a very old Celtic type instrument
though it is played with a bow one side sounds like a
piano the other like a harp. it plays beautiful music
the one we purchased is hand made in a small town in
Or. in many ways it is some- what similar to a dulcimer
like they used to play in the old country ( that will be
another instrument my son is wanting to learn how to play)
and I am sure once he masters this he will work on getting
a dulcimer to add to his collection.

I am glad for the love of his music.
