Being inspired by Denny Genovese using a psaltry at the oddmusic garden walk through I made a solid body psaltry which will be electrified at some future point. The recording I have here was made with a Zoom H2 sitting next to the psaltry. I tuned it by ear and checking it in V-Vocal it appears to be JI but more or less a mixed 3-limit. The recording is played without and with effects.
