Here is a near-complete psaltery that looks all dressed up. It has black pins, and an ebony bridge and binding. In contrast, it also has light-colored nickel-plated strings and black and white purfling around the binding.

In case you were wondering, this is the (almost) end result of Arielle’s psaltery. All that’s left is to buff out the back and sides, (hopefully I’ll add more pictures of that too), and wait a bit longer for the finish to harden.
