A psaltery (Greek: [[ψαλτήρι]]) (or [[sawtry]] [archaic]) is a stringed instrument of the zither family. The psaltery of Ancient Greece ([[ἐπιγόνιον]], [[epigonion]]) was a harp-like stringed instrument. The word psaltery derives from the Ancient Greek [[ψαλτήριον]] (psaltḗrion), "stringed instrument, psaltery, harp" and that from the verb [[ψάλλω]] (psállō), "to touch sharply, to pluck, pull, twitch" and in the case of the strings of musical instruments, "to play a stringed instrument with the fingers, and not with the plectrum." The psaltery was originally made from wood, and relied on natural acoustics for sound production. In the King James Bible "[[psaltery]]", and its plural, "psalteries", are used to translate several words from the Hebrew Bible whose meaning is now unknown. | |||
