The body hacked from Portuguese pine, the spruce top cut from an old drawer. Strings from monofile fishing wire, 20 and 25 kg/string, bass strings double and triple twined. This project started in 1983, I burned 2 hides, 2 necks and now finally it got a wooden top (which cracked, but this does not disturb the sound) This wooden top version offers a different, crispy sound which in comparison to the volume of the cowhide-version is louder - a direction to pursue, perhaps. Tuning pegs from a zither. Size about 100 cm.
