Fellenbaum Bowed Psaltery

Way back in the 90s a very good friend of mine bought this crazy thing that looked like a cross between a hammer dulcimer and a violin.  It was played with this tiny little bow and in my thoroughly incapable hands made little more sound than a shriek.

Fast forward to the great bequest of 2015, said friend sent me said psaltery.  Made by what was the Fellenbaum Dulcimer Workshop (which is now Fellenbaum Stringed Instruments).   It needs a replacement bow, but has all the original hardware (including the tuning key — which regrettably is just slightly too small to be repurposed for the Harp Guitar).
