Según la iconografía, y algunas descripciones de la época (entre ellas las de Henri Arnault de Zwolle con dibujos del mecanismo, disposición del encordado y teclado, de 1436) consiste en un salterio dotado de un mecanismo con teclado, similar al del órgano y el clavicordio, que tañe la cuerda por medio de un plectro.
