Using the finest woods available this instrument is delicately bound in black and white ivoroid into extremely sharp points at the area of intersection. Carefully hand carved, shaped and graduated to exacting specifications by my skilled experienced and meticulous craftsmanship.

  • Mother of Pearl/abalone finely inlaid on the headstock and fingerboard.
  • Each instrument has a finish of lacquer or Venetian varnish meticulously applied as not to hinder the sound, but to enhance it.
  • Fully carved neck without varnish to insure playing ease for quick positioning.
  • Neck tastefully laminated with three fine lines of inlay.
  • Fingerboard comes flat or arched, full length or cut-off, depending on preference.
  • Inconspicuous microphone and pickup can be installed without hindering any of the acoustical value of the instrument.
