  Bowed Psaltery Case (Two Sizes) This dark green soft carrying case is available for my Alto Bowed Psaltery and instruments of similar size 26" x 9" x 1 3/4" (2 3/4" with pins). The case has handles, shoulder strap and a external pocket for accessories with a seperate sleeve dedicated for the bow. Only in the dark green. If you plan on moving the instrument about, I highly recommend you get a case. This soft case is $45 shipping $10 For the same price I have almost identical cases for the Soprano Bowed Psaltery 22" x 81/2" x 1 3/4" (with pins 2 1/2"). The only difference is the Soprano case is black and and has a small logo of a mountain on one end. |

| Bowed Psaltery Tripod Platform
This platform enables you to support the instrument for playing with two bows. There is 1/4"/20 threaded insert in the back which fits all tripods. There are also three plastic standoffs which protect the back of the instrument as well as let it contribute to the tone. If you already own one of my alto's, make sure you send me a measurement of the total length and the maximum width to assure an accurate fit. If you'd like to make a platform that fits your unique bowed psaltery, I suggest you send an outline on a piece of newspaper plus a check for the total. $35 plus $10 shipping |
 The inside length of the short end of the triangle for my alto platform is 10". Your instrument, regardless of its corners, must fit inside a triangle like this. |

| Bowed Psaltery Internal Pickup | |||
|
|
||
| The pickup includes a 1/4" phono input connected to the same film piezo pickup I use on my hammered dulcimers. The pickup will work without an internal pre-amp but the signal is improved if used with an external pre-amp. The jack is located on the left side of the instrument which seems to work best for right hand players. It can be reversed if you are lefthanded. It is easiest to install on instruments I make new but I can install the pickup on any instrument I haven't yet strung up. $75 installed |
