My interpretation of the medieval instrument
bears features which make it suitable for Medieval, Renaissance and Celtic
music.
Its powerfull and rich sound and the easy
approach make this instrument interesting not only for the professional
man but also for the amateur:

notes

single brass strings
-
sharping levers
to obtain the following accidental notes: C, F, G sharp and B, E flat
-
soundboard: red spruce or cypress
-
case: natural wood (maple, oak, ash) or natural
tempera on poplar and alder
-
It's possible to chose among these colours
and decorations or to order personalized stencils, paintings or inlays
-

tuning key, spare strings and manteinance material
-

method with selected musics and advice for the learning is available
