The Schoenhut Bowed Psaltery is a stringed, fully chromatic musical instrument. It is arranged similar to a piano; the white keys on one side and the black keys on the other. By having each string tuned to a specific pitch, it is easy to attain a pleasing violin-like sound without fretting any strings. A CD with play-along songs and tuning tones are included in the package.

The Psaltery was a popular instrument during the Middle Ages. It is depicted in various forms in manuscripts and carvings. 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.
