Plucked Psaltery - An instrument of the zither family. It consists of a raised piece of wood, or a wooden box with soundholes, without a neck; it may be rectangular, triangular or trapeziform in shape. The instrument may be strung singly or with multiple courses. The strings are stretched parallel to the soundboard over one or more bridges and attached at either side by wooden or bone pegs, or metal pins. In relation to each other, the strings are parallel or fan-shaped in their arrangement, depending on the shape of the psaltery. Usually, the strings are plucked, by the fingers or by plectra. #balticpsalteries #balticpsaltery #folkmusic #folklore #pagan #paganmusic #nordic #nordicmusic #gusli #kantele #kokle #kannel #kankles #lyre #harp #zither #koto #guzheng #strings #stringedinstrument #folklore #folkmusic #ethnic #ethnicmusic https://www.instagram.com/p/CJn_XU3gVfg/?igshid=ng20cpxvp8qn
