I used this week as an excuse to learn how to tune and play the psaltery. I was given one by a family friend and it sat on a shelf for a couple years before I finally learned what I was doing. I really like it though! I'm embarrassed it took me this long to figure it out!

Spent about 1 hour making some backing patterns and a basic structure. two live takes of psaltery and 20 minutes cleaning them up into chunks. another 30 minutes moving stuff around and adjusting volumes. I could have spent more time dialing this one in but I've got a show to play this weekend an I gotta focus! Total work time about 2 hours.
