Piezo Psaltery

For Igor Livramento

I added piezo pickups to my electric psaltery – this recording is made using only the piezos and some reverb. The tuning above was created by ear. Its a bit 12 – equal-ish (its hard to escape the past) which meant I didn’t want to post it… then I remembered that there are many tunings in the scala archive that are even more twelvey and said “let it go….” The tuning above is per Melodyne’s polyphonic sustain algorithm.

Placement of the piezo’s can be seen below.
