The Roosebeck Alto Rounded Psaltery Right-Handed is an ideal instrument for musicians and music enthusiasts of all levels.

Understand the Placement of Notes on the Psaltery

At first, playing the psaltery may seem daunting, but once you understand the placement of the notes, you'll be playing like a pro in no time. The Hitch Pins along one side of the instrument are evenly spaced, like the white keys on a piano, while the opposite side features groups of 3 and 2 Hitch Pins with spaces between, similar to the black keys on a piano. Bowing the evenly spaced strings plays the natural notes, while sharps and flats are played by reaching the bow over to the opposite side of the instrument.

Properly Rosin Your Bow for Optimal Sound

To get the best sound out of your psaltery, it's essential to properly rosin your bow. Start by roughening up the surface of the new rosin with a key or nail file, then rosin the ends of the hairs first, followed by the full length of the bow. Rotate the rosin cake under the hairs as you drag the bow across to maintain a flat surface and prevent deep grooves. A properly rosined bow will have rosin powder evenly distributed throughout the hair.

Maintain Your Psaltery for Optimal Performance

To keep your Roosebeck Alto Rounded Psaltery Right-Handed in top condition, make sure to clean it regularly. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the instrument and the bow, and occasionally wipe the playing area of the strings. Avoid handling the bow hairs with your hands, as the oils from your skin can leave permanent slick spots. For an extra layer of protection, consider using the Roosebeck Microfiber Polishing Cloth, sold separately.

SPECIAL NOTE ON STRINGS:
There is no warranty on strings. Manufacturers recommend that you change the strings on your instrument as soon as you receive it. Your instrument has completed a long journey before it ever begins the final leg to your home. During this time the elements affect the strings and may shorten their lifespan. It occasionally happens that a string will fail during that final leg of the journey. Therefore, it is recommended that you purchase a replacement set of strings and consider changing your strings soon after it arrives. If you are a student you may want to change your strings every 3-4 months. If you are a rock star you may need to change your strings every week. If you store your instrument, you should consider changing the strings when you pick it up again.
