Based on the round-back guitar found in Germany, the Baroq-uleles™ are one of the most option-rich lines of instruments we carry.
This Tenor-sized instrument is based upon a 430mm (17 inch) scale. It features a European spruce soundboard with a rosette design based on a lute from 1607 by Magno Stegher. The back is a round-back or bowl shape made of alternating staves of sheesham rosewood (Dalbergia sissoo) and lacewood (Platanus orientalus). The neck is solid sheesham rosewood (Dalbergia sissoo) and features a nut of genuine bone with a width of 37mm (1.5 Inches). This instrument is outfitted with lute-style ebony friction pegs. The bridge, also made of sheesham rosewood, incorporates a bone saddle. An end-pin strap button is standard.
Overall size is approximately: 26.75 x 9 x 4.75 inches.
This set includes a soft nylon case to protect your instrument during transport or storage.
The Baroq-uleles™ come in 3 sizes including Soprano, Concert and Tenor. Each size is graced with its own unique rosette design, each of which is taken from museum pieces from the 16th and 17th centuries.
In addition to the three sizes, the Baroq-ulele™ is also available with 3 types of woods for the back: sheesham rosewood, lacewood (chenar) or variegated with alternating staves of rosewood 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.
