This process is deemed less involving as compared to other stringed instruments. A bowed psaltery is triangular in shape and made in such a way that it produces diatonic, sharp and flat notes. Its wooden sound box allows the strings attached to be individually played. They come in different designs though more or less the same format.
Building this instrument starts from the frame. Pieces for the frame are cut from plywood into triangular shape and the edges trimmed using a band saw. The frames are then glued together until they hold up in the desired manner. In order to attain pressure on the triangle edges, a jig that is lined with wax paper should be used, before placing a clamp on the ends to help fit the frames tightly in position.
A smaller measurement opening is then drilled, merely in the middle of the plywood. This need to be at the back of the instrument and can either be left spherical or maybe designed to another attractive shape. On top of the triangle, a pencil can be used to mark direct traces for the purpose of the strings. Pins are then used to be able to mark the obvious cut locations which should differentiate the notes and their correspondences.
Slots regarding the hitch and tuning pins are also drilled. Those for the hitch pins need to be produced vertically in the front side, whilst for the turning pins must come on the back. What comes next is the instrument's finish. A harder and brittle finish enables the sound to come out in quite a perfect way.
The bridge should then be build by using a piece of hardwood, grooved to the centre of one side of the instrument. The bridge should be in such a position that it provides enough room for the shortest string for vibration and winding as desired. The tops of all pins should be roughed up to enable them hold the strings to be used in place.
Stringing the instrument is the next step whereby each string is threaded through every hitch pin. The strings are pulled over the pins and laid onto the bridge. These are then looped onto the tuning pins and tightened to give a firm grip.
A digital tuner is next employed to tune the particular instruments and allow the notes function as required. These are then wind counter clockwise all around these pins. Those that run upwards on the right side are the natural notes while those running on the left are the sharp and flat notes.
This instrument is played using a bow which can simply be built from hardwood and some fishing line. The hardwood should have a small hole on both long end sides, though there should be a double knot tied in one of the holes. This bow gets its final look from fishing lines that are wrapped around the stick length. It would work better if a few inches of space are left at the centre of the stick.
