As I mentioned in an earlier post, once a year I try to make an extra-fancy psaltery that I term a “phantasy” psaltery. The pictures above show the finished product for 2009.

Some points of interest would include the Star-of-David rosette, and also the Macassar Ebony back/sides. I was fortunate enough to find a piece of this rare wood that was large enough to be made into a psaltery.

Actually, the board I found was large enough to be made into two psalteries. So if you were interested in a custom order, I have the second set available for use on a personalized psaltery in the Treasure Trove.

The “Phantasy” psaltery is currently listed on the Psalteries for Sale page.
