Recently I began my exploration into the world of instruments unknown to us. Ideas of fusion. Having a limited background in acoustics and woodworking, although a very broad knowledge base of instruments of the world, I formulated ideas of creating a Victorian-like changing screen which would double as a gigantic Harp-Lyre. The idea of a full, 3-panel changing screen, turned into a 2-panel; altering the true definition.

My next project developed into a new type of bowed psaltery. In which there are fixed pitches, as traditionally done, BUT with my construction, the performer is able to bend the fixed pitches up to 3 semitones. On my psaltery there are 6 pitches : G2 A2 E3 G#3 A3 B3 It was first conceived to accompany my Harp-Lyre, which is does beautifully, although it has proved to be able to stand alone.
