The psaltery was a stringed instrument; it was bowed, struck or plucked. The player performed with the instrument on the lap or on a table, or in front of the chest held with a strap around his neck if movement was needed.

A Bowed Psaltery is a stringed instrument that is played using a bow. The player draws the bow across the strings to produce sound. The strings are typically tuned to specific notes, and pressing them down at different points can change the pitch.
