Great song but WOW so much feedback on the amp.
You need a Behringer amp with the circuit that kills feedback. I do love your style of playing. Keep up the technique and teach us all how to do that.

Hi Celeste, that is one of Rick Long's baritone psalteries with some cello strings added and also with a pick up plugged in. It is haunting and lovely!

That's one of Rick's new modified baritone psalteries with 1 octave of CELLO strings on
the side. Four full octaves if you count those strings.

Fabulous!!!
What kind of psaltery is that, and what size?? I LOVE the bass notes... so nice and clear and "vibrating".

Amplified Psaltery with Cello Strings built by Rick Long
This video is a personal favorite because it shows a unique type of bowed psaltery with a gorgeous sound. When I heard it I broke out in goose bumps!
