'Simple Gifts' on bowed psaltery by Timothy Seaman at Spruce Knob, WV

www.timothyseam... Timothy has played this popular Shaker tune on bowed psaltery since the late 1980s when it was a duet with virtuoso guitarist Chuck Haas; here he is solo on a redwood and cherry psaltery made by James Jones of Bedford, Virginia. The recording is punctuated with the delightful sounds of groups of teenaged girls hiking to the summit of the highest point in West Virginia!
The bowed psaltery is used in ensemble with hammered dulcimer on this track from Timothy's holiday album Hope from on High (2008): • Simple Gifts
