     UNEARTHLY ACOUSTIC

    After years of research on the structure and material of traditional fretted instruments, designers developed an unprecedented silhouette for the instrument. The instrument is made of vulcanized fibre. The "gapped top" construction is created by lifting up the soundboard using the material's natural bending properties. This innovation in structure fundamentally changes the musicality of the instrument, generating a unique timbre.
