Alice >>> Bowed psaltery is triangular as a rule, and diatonic. One  
can only bow one note at a time. What you see there (lira calabresa)  
bears an apparent  familial esemblance to the rebec, with the  
exception of the bridge being  apparently not bowed, which means that  
like a crwth, you end up playing drones  at the same time as you play  
fingered notes.

A crwth? Cool scrabble word!
