All Psalteries are not the same.
The Waynie Compact model is, without question, the most innovative design for the bowed
psaltery since its inception in the late 1940's. I call it the Compact
because of it's unique design. The compact, which was designed and developed by me, is a totally different approach
to the instrument. It is easier and faster to play since the travel to
sharps and flats is around three inches straight across the instrument.
In the traditional triangle model, there is a much greater separation from side
to side. All my Psalteries are handcrafted by me, entirely from all natural
hardwoods. Even the rosettes are hardwood. There isn't one piece of
plywood in my instruments. I use many exotic hardwoods from several
continents and select the cuts for the best possible sound. These compact
psalteries are not only beautiful, they have a wonderful voice.

All my Psalteries come complete with the Waynie cloth case, matching horse hair bow, rosin and tuning wrench
If it's branded as a Waynie it is quality built and unique and different than all the rest.
