What is the hole in the back used for?
The small hole in the back is something I started adding in 2001. It is a second sound-hole that adds to the overall quality of the sound. It is not a finger hole used to hold the psaltery. When the psaltery is held properly your hand should be cupped to prevent coming into contact with the thin wood on the back. It is just as important for this wood to vibrate as the soundboard.
