The Psaltery was a popular instrument during the middle Ages; it is depicted in various forms in manuscripts and carvings. It was brought to England during the time of the crusades and is thought to have been based on the North African instrument the Qanun. By the 18th century it had developed into several other instruments, hit with hammers it became the Hammered Dulcimer, fitted with a keyboard mechanism the Harpsichord. These two eventually combined to produce the most important instrument of modern times - the piano. Product Info: Materials: Birch Plywood
