I’ve always found it somewhat humorous how easily it can be to alter the perceived length of a bowed psaltery. Since I seem to have taken pictures of all sorts of bowed psalteries already, I thought today I would have fun with it a little and take a picture from an interesting angle.

You can see from the picture on the left that changing the angle can drastically alter the perceived length of the psaltery. Yes, believe it or not, the psaltery above is actually of standard length and width.
