This project was done between the Xalam project and the Hurdy
Gourdy.
WAY over-built, it features a hand carved, five piece steel
reinforced neck, which bolts to the box. The fretboard is rosewood, the fret
spacing like on an Appalachian dulcimer. There are three strings (steel banjo
strings), a melody string and two drones. The tailpiece is made of three brass
nails, which go into a block inside the box. The bridge is maple.
Sound-wise, it has a Central Asian thing happening. It not have
name. It girl.
