2 1/2 Octave Bowed Psaltery

Our 2 1/2 Octave Psaltery comes with a beautiful double-rosette just like Jerry's Hammer Dulcimers.  The soundboard selection is limited to the softer, more resonant woods such as Spruce, Mahogany, Western Cedar, African Padouk, Hawaiian Koa or Spalted Maple.  The 2 1/2 Octave model comes with a tuning wrench, rosin, a horsehair bow, instruction booklet and tuning chart.  Cases are available too!  Where the 2 Octave model's lowest note is the G above "middle" C ... the 2 1/2 Octave model's lowest note is "middle" C and then goes up: C#, D, D#, E, F and F# to reach the G.  It also adds an extra A on the high end. These beautiful instruments are unusual, and always attract the curiosity of listeners.  Our 2 1/2 Octave Bowed Psalteries range in price from: $299.00 to about $339.00.  2 Octave Bowed Psalteries start at: $179.00.
