The Baroq-uleles by Roosebeck, are one of the most option-rich lines of instruments we carry. Their design is based on the round-back guitar found in Germany. This Tenor-sized instrument is based upon a 430 mm (17 inches) scale. It features a European spruce soundboard with a rosette design based on a lute by Magno Stegher of 1607. The back is a round-back or bowl shape made of alternating staves of sheesham (Dalbergia sissoo) and lacewood (Platanus orientalus). The neck is solid sheesham and features a nut width of 37mm (1 1/2 inch) with a cattle-bone nut.
This instrument is outfitted with standard friction ukulele tuners. The tension on each friction tuner can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the screw on the top of the tuner. The bridge, also made of sheesham , incorporates a genuine cattle-bone saddle. An end-pin strap button is standard. Overall size: 26.75 x 9 x 4.75 inches. Gig Bag included.
The Baroq-uleles come in 4 sizes including Soprano, Concert, Tenor and Baritone. Each size is graced with its own unique rosette design, each of which is taken from museum examples from the 16th and 17th centuries.
In addition to the four sizes, the Baroque-ulele is also available with 3 types of woods for the back: sheesham , lacewood (chenar) or variegated with alternating staves of sheesham and lacewood. Finally, ensuring that you will find an instrument that best fits your needs, these instruments are also available with two types of tuning keys: Baroque-style ebony tuning pegs or standard ukulele friction tuners.
