| | Harps by Wm. Rees - Renaissance Psaltery History |
 | | To play a psaltery, the music is put under the strings and a line at the top and bottom of the music is lined up with the top and bottom strings of the psaltery. | | | Psaltery music is shaped just like the psaltery but a bit smaller so that it will fit into the space under the strings. | | | Throw in a little timing and a recognizable song emerges as the music is followed. |
