One of the most recorded Irish songs in history " Sally Gardens"  --also a personal fave!

Love the Sound, seems almost Haunting like. Love it!

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.

Absolutely beautiful!

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!

Lovely Rick!  Great to see you are still innovating the design of the great BP!

That is a celestial sound!

What diameter size cello strings are being used?  Carl Gotzmer at juneappledulcimers@gmail.com,

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.

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!
