'A Bowed Psaltery is a psaltery that’s played using a bow. Unlike psalteries of times gone by, bowed psalteries have only appeared since the 20th century. The first patent for a bowed psaltery was in 1925 in Germany. This patent was issued to the Clemens Neuber Company and outlined a “violin zither.” This instrument was a bowed psaltery but it also had some strings that were arranged in chords that could be strummed while the melody was played on the psaltery strings with a bow..' dulcimer.net A fine addition to any home or collection!
