Thank you. I play piano, so it is easy to transition to psaltery. (It is just the white notes on the piano.) I have some books of Medieval tunes transcribed to modern notation, and that is where I found the melody. I just added some rhythmic drone chords with the left hand to make it more interesting.
The psaltery has 15 strings and is tuned G to G, no sharps or flats. It's equal temperament (don't hate me, haha). But it wouldn't be difficult to tune to a different temperament. Maybe I should try that for future Medieval videos...
Truly lovely to hear! Thank you!
Ola sou do Brasil! Parabens. Maravilhoso ver vc tocar.

Nice! So, the obvious question - how does one 'find' the strings if you aren't looking at them? All by feel?
Pretty much just practice!
Awesome! I really like this one. What is the lowest string tuned to and what temperament?
