Another lovely creation, Jo. I love the simple ornamentation on the headstock and your rosettes are always so beautifully intricate.

Very nice!
Yes the avian creature is great, gives you a feeling of how different we were at that time.
I was wondering, when they made them from solid wood, what types?
Thanks for posting this, Jo. I always enjoy seeing your creations. This one is especially to my taste. Simply beautiful!
Best wishes,

That has a powerful yet sweet sound for a fairly small body, Jo. Is this due to the separate soundboard and ribbed construction rather than the mediaeval carved construction? I am assuming you have the frets positioned to give semitone intervals?

As always, thanks for posting the pictures and the clip. Your work is wonderful to look at, and I enjoy hearing the instruments played. Please do keep posting as you build more.
