This time I have some links and a bit of background. Don't know what exposition was about, but the instrument is Bowed Psaltery and the song is an English folk song – Greensleeves. Seems it's pretty popular because you even can find metal cover on YouTube if you like. English folks, sorry I'm ignorant.

The instrument itself is pretty interesting, something kinda violin, not too big but pretty loud.

Before you start listening, make sure speakers are not too loud, because some notes on Psaltery are pretty annoying without proper mastering.

The traditional English folk song 'Greensleeves' was registered at the London Stationer's Company in 1580, though legend falsely attributes it to King Henry VIII.

Ended Tuesday and welcomed the blue skies of Wednesday after my swim with Cycle, an album by Paul Horn which was originally released on the RCA Victor label in 1965.

Cycle, credited to the Paul Horn Quintet, was nominated for a 1965 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Album, Small Ensemble. - Wikipedia

The version of Greensleeves that opens this LP commences with bagpipes!
