Based upon the Renaissance Lute which was prevalent in Europe in the 16th and 17th century, the Lute-kulele is one of the sweetest sounding ukuleles in our collection and is ideally suited for classical and fingerstyle music. This Tenor-sized instrument is based upon a 430mm (17 inch) scale and features six strings.
The first (A) and third (C) strings are doubled providing a rich full and balanced tone. It is played like any normal 4-string ukulele. It features a European spruce soundboard with the famous Leonardo Knot rosette which was a favorite of many Renaissance lute makers.
The back is made in the traditional manner of lute-making and is made of alternating staves of sheesham rosewood (Dalbergia sissoo) and lacewood (Platanus orientalus).
The neck and pegbox are solid sheesham rosewood and features a bone nut with a width of 37mm (1.5 inches).
This instrument is outfitted with traditional ebony lute pegs. The bridge is also made of sheesham rosewood. An end-pin strap button is standard and a soft case is included.
