Bowed Psaltery 24 Course - 2 Chromatic Octaves

INDIVIDUALLY HANDCRAFTED INSTRUMENT MADE BY TIM MANNING OF MUSIC MAGIC IN SOMERSET and Little Used

This instrument was purchased from Tim a few years ago, but sadly like the Dulcimer I am also selling- (if you check out my other sales), it got very little use and

now deserves to go somewhere where it will be loved and played.

The instrument is in excellent condition but please note comment on condition shown above.

This instrument cost £200 + as I recall, so treat yourself to a wonderful and uniquely haunting sounding instrument or a great Christmas gift for someone close.

The instrument comes with a tuner key and Tuning Chart, also bow, resin and zip up nylon black carry case.

Please note shipping to UK only or collection in person from Carrickfergus in Northern Ireland

Below are details about the maker Tim and this instrument from his own website at Music Magic

Having a range of 2 octaves this instrument is actually a fairly modern invention.

Each note has its own string which may be bowed individually creating

an unusual haunting sound.

Tim makes each Music Magic instrument on an individual basis in a small workshop in Frome, Somerset. There are no computer routers or jigs involved. Timber is a unique product the result of the wind the sun and earth and does not always respond well to being forced to conform exactly to the rigid constraints of mass production. Every part of the instrument has had the individual attention of the designer and maker.
