Cittern

I made this for John McCusker in 2002. Styled on a Stefan Sobell instrument with a carved spruce top and Brazilian rosewood body. The scale length is 580 and is tuned CGCGC. It has a very clean pure sound and John has played it a lot both live and on recordings, most recently on a world tour with Mark Knopfler.
