OUR INSTRUMENTS

 

 

Something that makes Minstrels Gallery unique is the number of instruments we play, at the last count it was around forty but we are always adding to our collection. Even if you book Minstrels Gallery as a duo we still come with the full compliment of instruments. The picture here shows some of the main ones.

Bowed Psaltery
Click to Hear
Like the plucked psaltery, the bowed psaltery is a metal strung instrument. Its' thin ethereal sound contrasts with other bowed instruments such as the rebec and medieval fiddle. It also has the advantage of individual pre tuned notes allowing accurate tuning.
