Mahogany thumb piano, 4.9" x 6.9", 10 steel keys.

The thumb piano originates in Africa. It is also known as the mbira, kalimba or likembe. The metal keys are mounted on a wooden box that acts as the resonating chamber.

To play, rest the thumb piano on the fingers of both hands and hold it between your palms. Then pluck the keys with your thumbs.

The longer keys have lower pitches and shorter keys have higher pitches. The keys can be adjusted by tapping them in or out to adjust their length, and therefore their pitch.

Hand made gong stand constructed of sheesham including a 4 inch Yun gong. The Yun gong is our smallest gong made with traditional methods by artisans in China from a bronze alloy which is roughly 80% copper and 20% tin. Comes with a beater and is fully assembled.

Black sheesham. Royal Stewart Tartan cover with Rexine bag, turned nickeled ferrules and sole. This Roosebeck Bagpipe set has a Rexine bag. Rexine is a soft, synthetic, material designed to be air tight and to feel like high quality suede. The Rexine bag features a contoured goose neck for better airflow. Unlike the natural leather bag, the Rexine bag requires no breaking in period, and no seasoning. We think all pipers will appreciate the design, the texture and the lighter weight of this set with its Rexine bag. Includes 2 cane pipe chanter reeds, 1 set of aluminum drone reeds with carbon fiber tongues and thread. Approximately 40" x 20".

This right-handed psaltery has 30 steel strings, ranging F4-Bb6. Constructed with a spruce soundboard on a body of lacewood. The single sound hole features an intricately carved sheesham rosette. It ships with a psaltery bow, tuning tool and rosin.
 
The Bowed Psaltery is a beautiful sounding melody instrument producing a clear and ethereal sound. The psaltery is also a very easy to play.  The psaltery bow is held in the dominate hand and only one string is played at a time, being bowed between the Hitch Pins. You may choose to play your psaltery with two bows, one in each hand.  With that technique, each bow plays one side of the instrument. 
Playing the Psaltery may seem daunting until you understand the placement of the notes.  Look at the psaltery and you will see the Hitch Pins along one side are evenly spaced (like white keys on a piano).  On the opposite side the Hitch Pins are arranged in groups of 3 and 2 with spaces between (like the black keys on a piano).  Bowing the evenly spaced strings plays the natural notes. Sharps and flats are played by reaching the bow over to the opposite side of the instrument.  A Right-Handed Psaltery has the natural notes on the right side, the Left-Handed Psaltery has the natural notes are on the left side.
The Bow must be rosined before it can play the strings.  To rosin up the bow, rough up the surface of the new rosin, a key or nail file works will. Rosin the ends of the hairs first, in short fast strokes, then rosin the full length from end to end.  Rotate the rosin cake under the hairs as you drag the bow across.  This rotation will maintain a flat surface and prevent a deeply grooved rosin which can damage bow hairs.  A properly rosined bow will have rosin powder evenly distributed throughout the hair.  Never handle the hair of the bow with your hands. Oils from your skin will leave permanent slick spots that will inhibit retention of the rosin powder. 
Clean your bow with a soft dry cloth after each use.  Occasionally, wipe the playing area of the strings. Rosin which is allowed to accumulate too heavily, especially on the undersides of the strings, will adversely affect the tone and playability of the instrument.  The Roosebeck Microfiber Polishing Cloth is sold separately, and is perfect for cleaning the bow (item code RBSMFPI).
Broken or loose hairs are not uncommon and will not affect the playing characteristics of the bow. If a hair breaks do not to pluck it out. Carefully cut the hair, leaving a little bit at both ends.
