RWC Cittern
Our Cittern is a traditional four course model with re-entrant
tuning, based on an instrument by Gasparo Da Salo, circa 1560.
The finished instrument made from figured English sycamore. It has a
Swiss pine table, rosewood pegs and fittings and an extremely delicately
carved rose in English cherry.
Wire strung on all courses the cittern is accurately fretted using solid
brass frets and is tuned e'e', d'd', gg'g, bb.
Each instrument is hand built to special order in our own workshops in
Toledo (Spain) and comes with
12 months warranty.
A soft padded bag or fitted hard case are available as optional extras if
required. |

Cittern Kit
The same Cittern is offered in kit form for home assembly.
The price includes the license to build one instrument
for private use.
An important feature of our cittern kit is the inclusion of a mould to
ensure success, even for the first time builder, so assembly of the body can
begin immediately.
Our kit contains all the parts to build a traditional four course
cittern.
The ribs and back are supplied in English sycamore sanded to thickness
and ready for assembly around the mould.
The neck is pre-shaped with the pegs already fitted to reamed holes and
the fingerboard has been machined to ensure accurate fitting of the brass
frets.
All the parts in the kit are made from traditional materials and include
a Swiss pine top and sycamore back.
The instruction manual reveals the secrets of carving a rose.
A fully dimensioned plan and a detailed instruction manual take the
builder through the construction of the instrument in a clear and concise
manner, with 'step by step' photographs further illustrating each stage.
All the kits Include free access to our customer 'Helpline' should you
need any advice on construction, setting-up or playing. |
