Description

The contemporary 8-string cittern is a beautifully crafted instrument designed with a teardrop-shaped body, reminiscent of the Pollman style. This cittern features a maple back and sides, which provide a bright and articulate sound, while the spruce top enhances its projection and tonal clarity. The combination of these woods results in a well-balanced instrument suitable for a variety of musical genres, from traditional folk to modern compositions.

With a scale length of 22-3/4 inches, this cittern offers a comfortable playing experience, giving musicians the flexibility to explore intricate melodies and chords. The lower bout width measures 10-1/8 inches, contributing to its manageable size and ease of handling. Although this instrument lacks a label, its craftsmanship and design speak to a high level of quality and attention to detail. The 8-string configuration offers rich harmonics and a versatile sound palette, making it an excellent choice for both seasoned performers and those new to the cittern.
