This Troubadour style instrument was built for a dear friend and family member. Maple body, bubinga top and headstock plate, walnut fretboard and bird style sound hole insert, and East Indian rosewood floating bridge. It has a tapered neck. Unlike most of the lute dulcimers it has a chromatic fretboard which gives the player the ability to play using all available half steps within range.
Abalone inlay along the face of the fretboard follows the pentatonic scale while black dot inlay along the side of the neck follows the standard diatonic scale for easy improvisation and navigation.
