Just arrived in June and barely played (I'm leaving other instruments behind for now, focusing on guitar and mandolin).This is Omega Strings' top-of-the-line version, complete with special request (extra charge) padauk wood used for the back, sides, rosette, bridge, and bridge pin plate.Two bows (also in padauk) are included, as well as the manual, rosin, tuning wrench, and heavy duty soft padded case.I am also including a like-new cameral tripod (VERY nice!  Black and easy to adjust - extends much more than you'd ever need to play this instrument.).Exceptionally sweet bowed instrument tone.  Destined to improve with more depth of character with age as well.This package (including the tripod) cost me over $1,100.00 (shipping of both the instrument and the tripod not included).Richard Spencer communicated to me at the time that he is actually slowing down his production somewhat; who knows how much longer these best-of-the-best bowed psalteries will remain available.Winning bidder within the contiguous United States will pay $50.00 packing, insurance, and shipping.Winners elsewhere will pay an additional fee (between $25.00 to $50.00 extra). I accept money orders (which result in immediate payment) or personal checks (which can take a few weeks to clear my bank and result in a delay in shipment). IMPORTANT:  I also accept PayPal, but WAIT until the end of auction for me to contact you with the correct PayPal ID.  We've gotten payments in the past to the wrong ID which PayPal refused to help us with.Payment expected within 7 business days of the close of auction.AGAIN: please email me for several photos:  tommy@tommyswirled.com Place a Bid!
