"DERRIERE CHEZ NOUS" Epinette des Vosges

I'm playing this French traditional tune on my Epinette des Vosges, a traditional French musical instrument related to Hummels, Appalachian Dulcimers and other fretted zithers world wide. I made the noter I'm using out of one side of a wood and spring clothes pin. I sanded the rougher side smoother and rounded its edges to slide over the frets easier, but then I spent some time breaking it in, harding up the slide side and getting used to how much to push down.

What size strings are you using - (two melody strings and first drone tuned to high G, number two drone C and my wound string octave lower G.)  - thanks. Are 'Epinette Des Vosges' usually played sounding high & with a noter? Are they ever played in D?

Thank you everyone for your interest in my epinette. It doesn't say anywhere I can see who made it, although its similar to Strumella's and others I've seen on YouTube the head stock and sound hole arraignment is slightly different. I have the two melody strings and first drone tuned to high G, number two drone C and my wound string octave lower G. My wife and I just finished playing with the "Ad Hoc Consort" at the "60th Anniversary Original Renaissance Faire" here in Southern California. This particular year our group lost its Drummer and I by default spent more time doing that job rather playing my Bowed Psaltery.

I did that also
