Myrtle Bowed Psaltery



Myrtle Bowed PsalteryHere’s a shot of a bowed psaltery that’s almost ready to have the finish applied.

The back and sides are made of figured Oregon Myrtle. It has a rear soundhole, herringbone centerstrip, and a tripod mount. The binding is Cocobolo with purfling (hard to see in the photo).
