RWC Gittern
Our Cittern is a traditional four course model with re-entrant tuning, based on an instrument by Gasparo Da Salo, circa 1560. The finished instrument made from figured English sycamore. It has a Swiss pine table, rosewood pegs and fittings and an extremely delicately carved rose in English cherry. Wire strung on all courses the cittern is accurately fretted using solid brass frets and is tuned e'e', d'd', gg'g, bb. Each instrument is entirely hand built by 'in-house' experienced craftsmen to special order in our own workshops in Toledo (Spain) to the highest standard of craftsmanship. They come with 12 months warranty and 12 months free access to our 'helpline' for advice on setting up, playing and maintenance. A soft padded bag or fitted hard case are available as optional extras if required. |
