Discover how easy and fun it is to start playing the bowed psaltery. Based on earlier boxed zithers, but often misreported as medieval or Celtic in origin, the chromatic bowed psaltery was invented in Germany after WWII and has found its way into many folk music communities worldwide. Handouts and instruments are provided, and rental bowed psalteries are available to take home. Beginners with no music experience, seasoned musicians, and all levels in between are welcome. Limited enrollment.
