- Here are a few tips for anyone who is a beginner bowed psaltery player. I learned to play by watching others on UA-cam. If it would be helpful, my channel is “learning the strings” and here is a link to my recorded songs.

Happy playing!
Hi Karen,
I have been following your channel.from the beginning. I love to hear you play! You play beautifully.
I have 2 psalteries an alto and tenor. Very relaxing to play.
Great tutorial! God bless
Isn’t it such fun! Thank you for your encouragement.
Hi Karen, it is very helpful to listen to your advises. It seems helpful that i play already different instruments. Violine can be may be helpful to use the bow well. And accordion helps to understand the flats and sharps. I plan to order a Tenor and hope it is ok for me as beginner. If any question it is good to contact you. Greetings from Germany near Airport Frankfurt.
Glad it was helpful!
Where can you buy synthetic replacement bow string?
Hi I'm thinking about purchasing a bowed psaltery. Do you have any suggestions where to purchase one?
Mine came from Rick Long at Ringingstrings. His are great.
Hi Karen. I just received the baritone bowed psaltery and looking for someone to give me some private lessons. Can you refer someone in New York?
I haven’t taken lessons but have a friend who teaches online - facebook.com/brenda.mangan.56?mibextid=LQQJ4d
This FB site doesn't say anything about lessons. Is there another way to reach your friend
Hi Karen, does your psaltery have wound strings on the lower notes.? I want to replace the steel strings on mine with wound ones on the lower notes.. just not sure what gauge to use...any thoughts. Thanks
Yes it does. It was made that way. That would be a question to ask the maker of your particular psaltery. It might need to have internal supports to accommodate the extra tension.
It would help to know the notes of each string
It varies by psaltery. Mine is strung in the key of D so F# and C# are on the right side. You can find out your string names using a tuner or tuning app on your phone. Good luck.
