Testimonial
I just wanted you and your husband to know how delighted I am with the psaltery
that I purchased from you. The instrument reflects meticulous workmanship and a
dedication to customer satisfaction. I am proud to own one of your psalteries and
would recommend you to anyone interested in owning a fine folk instrument. At
first, I was hesitant to purchase your psaltery since it was so reasonably priced. I
was concerned it would be of inferior construction and not hold up to being played
by the students in my middle school folkband. Instead, I was absolutely delighted
when I opened my package and discovered a fine instrument with magical tones.
Thank you for making this purchase such a pleasant experience!

"When searching for the 'most perfect psaltery', I came across a psaltery
made by Charles Rogers Jr. and was immediately impressed with the beautiful
wood and exquisite craftsmanship. You can find psaltery on many web sites
that look production made, but I wanted a special one. I purchased one, and
when I played it the sound was clear and sweet. I fell in love with it, and
continued to watch his work. Needless to say, I am a repeat customer, as it
is impossible to own just one of his musical instruments. I highly
recommend this fine luthier. His work will simply amaze you! "

“The more I play my Charles Rogers, Jr. Psaltery, the more impressed I am
with it! There are many people who build psalteries, but there are few true
luthiers who have the ability to add personality to each instrument they
create…Charles is certainly one of them. In fact, his craftsmanship far exceeds
that of many of the well-known psaltery manufacturers. Among the five
psalteries I have, the Charles Rogers, Jr. one is the definite favorite as it fits the
hand comfortably and is a real joy to play. I’m extremely pleased to have
purchased such a quality instrument at a reasonable price and as others want the
delightful experience of learning to play this unique instrument I will refer them
to you exclusively! It has been such a pleasure dealing with you and I truly
appreciate your personal touch not only in craftsmanship but in communication
as well."

Came across your website and was delighted to see the beautiful bowed
psalteries being offered at an affordable price. This affordable price
made the difference between being able to have a bowed psaltery or
not! In visiting with you in person was doubly delighted to find that the
quality, workmanship, and sound of the bowed psaltery is
fabulous---strong when it needs to be, light and bright when it needs to
be. I have several other musical instruments and am very discerning
about quality. I purchased a 30 string psaltery that not only sounds good
but also is a work of art pleasing to the eye. Thank you! CT

Hi, Becky & Chuck,
I can say now that I am the proud owner of one of your hand made psalterys,
and I fall in love with its lovely sound. And the case is the most beautiful case
among all that I have for my instruments. I have to say that the psalterys was
beautiful when I watch the photos at your web, but it is even more fantastic
when I have in my hands. My English is so poor that I have not enough
adjetives to describe it, but you can be sure that today I feel happy.
It will be a pleasure to meet you, (and even more, to eat that wonderful black
bean soup), but we are so far away, the crisis is horrible, but you know that you
have a good friend in Bilbao who will remember you each time when I play the
psaltery, and each time when I will eat good cooking. (I have seen that you have
good cooking every day, thanks to Becky).
I hope that you will continue making those wonderful instruments that make the
people so happy as me (and those beautiful cases, too).
Have a nice day,
Your friend in Bilbao,
Juanjo
