I’ve been quite busy lately, and though I’ve said that I will be getting back into building psalteries, I still really haven’t re-established a normal routine yet coming off from the holidays. The last two weeks feel like about 3 months have gone by.
Anyhow, I did manage to do one thing: take a picture of one of my recently completed bowed psalteries.
And as long as I’m writing about it, I should add that this psaltery is made of a Padauk frame, which I really like sound-wise. I think Padauk has close to the best “ring-to-weight” ratios of any hardwood I’ve encountered. That is to say, the ringing tone that it produces is very good considering its somewhat moderate weight. (Woods that have a strong ringing tap-tone are generally also heavy.)
