Playing the Psaltery Made Easy by Jeffrey Allen Lambert Pdf

This book will make playing the bowed psaltery easy! Lessons include reading the tablature, tuning, bowing techniques, holding the psaltery and some of my favorite Gospel, Christmas and Traditional folk songs.Personally I want to play the Psaltery in accompany with the mountain dulcimer. Therefore, I used the songs in my book, “Playing The Mountain Dulcimer Made Easy Vol I” book and arranged them to be played with the Psaltery. However, you do not have to combine these two books, this Psaltery Instruction Book is a stand alone project!If you want to play your Psaltery along with the mountain dulcimer, simply have the dulcimer player use the tablature in the “Playing The Mountain Dulcimer Made Easy Vol I” instruction book (they can play in either DAA or DAD tablature) and as they play you can join them with your Psaltery by playing in the key of “D”. However, you do not have to combine these two books, this Psaltery Instruction Book is a stand alone project!I also included the Psaltery tablature for the Key of “C”. It is easier to play the Psaltery in the Key of “C”. . . so you can play your instrument in this "Easy" Key (accompanied by a guitar would be nice) and enjoy the sweet sound of this unique mountain instrument!

The Physics of Musical Instruments by Neville H. Fletcher,Thomas D. Rossing Pdf

While the history of musical instruments is nearly as old as civilisation itself, the science of acoustics is quite recent. By understanding the physical basis of how instruments are used to make music, one hopes ultimately to be able to give physical criteria to distinguish a fine instrument from a mediocre one. At that point science may be able to come to the aid of art in improving the design and performance of musical instruments. As yet, many of the subtleties in musical sounds of which instrument makers and musicians are aware remain beyond the reach of modern acoustic measurements. This book describes the results of such acoustical investigations - fascinating intellectual and practical exercises. Addressed to readers with a reasonable grasp of physics who are not put off by a little mathematics, this book discusses most of the traditional instruments currently in use in Western music. A guide for all who have an interest in music and how it is produced, as well as serving as a comprehensive reference for those undertaking research in the field.
