Lute-kulele, Tenor, Rosewood, Pegs (Item Code: ULTRL)
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 finger-style music. This Tenor-sized instrument is based upon a 430 mm (17 inch) scale and features six strings. The second (E) 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 staves of sheesham rosewood (Dalbergia sissoo). 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.
This instrument is available separately with an all lacewood back (ULTCL) or a variegated back with alternating staves of rosewood and lacewood (ULTVL).
