Plucked Psaltery
in the Cantigas of Santa Maria |
|
En: Plucked Psaltery, Hog-nose Psaltery, Es:
Dulcema, Fr: Hachoir, De: Hackbrett, It: Salterio
tedesco, Heb: Psantir
The psaltery (the name coming from the Greek word 'Psalterion') probably
filtered into Europe from the Near East during the crusades.
Illustrations dating from the 12th century onwards depict the instrument
in many different forms but the most commonly depicted is a trapezoidal
shape with in curved sides, often called a 'snout-nosed' psaltery.

RWC Plucked Psaltery
We have kept to the traditional trapezoidal shape with in-curved
sides, often called a 'snout-nosed' psaltery, for our Plucked Psaltery.
Each instrument is hand built to special order in
our own workshops in Toledo (Spain)
and comes with 12 months warranty.
Swiss pine on an English sycamore framework is hand finished and then
strung in brass to ensure a full tone from the instrument.
Tuned to a diatonic scale of three octaves G - a" it is most commonly
played resting on the lap with a quill.
Each instrument comes complete with a tuning lever, soft carrying case
and 12 month warranty. |
