The new instructional DVD, "How to Care for and Play the Bowed Psaltery with Rick Long" is finally available. It is totally new from the previous DVD that focused primarily on the soprano bow psaltery I build. The new one is two hours long and covers all three sizes of the bowed psalteries I build.

These are the soprano, tenor, and baritone bowed psaltery. You will benefit from my 27+ years of experience with the bowed psaltery.

If you have bought a bowed psaltery and didn't receive much information as to caring for and how to properly play it, you will find the info on this DVD of great help.

Here's some of the things you can learn -

Tuning Your Psaltery

Replacing Broken String

Rosining Your Bow

Bowing Technique

Adding Expression to Your Playing

Things You Should Practice

Getting the Best Sound

Sources of Music

Tripod Mounting

Double Bowing
