Roosebeck Balalaika Prima, Nylon Gig Bag Roosebeck Balalaika Prima, Nylon Gig Bag

This Roosebeck Balalaika Prima has the traditional 3 strings and measures approximately 27 inches in length. The scale length is 430 mm. The body has the classical triangular shape. The back is slightly bowed and made with alternating staves with two tones of sheesham and lacewood. The darker back contrasts with the light colored wood of the soundboard. Includes a nylon gig bag. The Balalaika strings are tuned above middle C to: A, E, E (1st-3rd). The 1st string is the thinnest, and lays over more frets than the 2nd and 3rd strings. Use a piano or electronic tuner as a reference for tuning. The tension on each tuning peg can be adjusted by tightening or loosing the screw on the top of the peg. To play, the left hand notes the strings while the index finger of the right hand strums high on the soundboard near the neck. The dark sheesham on the soundboard is decorative but also protects the soundboard from the strumming. Extra String Set & Padded Nylon Gig Bag Included. Free Shipping.

Roosebeck Minstrel Harp, 29 Strings, 5 Panel/Pedestal, Sheesham, Chelby Levers Roosebeck Minstrel Harp, 29 Strings, 5 Panel/Pedestal, Sheesham, Chelby Levers

This Roosebeck Minstrel Harp features a clean, sleek design, and a 5 panel back, and a pedestal. Each of the four legs can be removed by simply unscrewing so it can be played with or without the legs, or to put the harp in the Minstrel Harp Nylon gig bag that is sold separately.

With 29 DuPont hard nylon strings, it produces a range from A2 to A6. With a larger sound box, it produces a deeper, fuller sound. It is approximately 40" high, and weighs 15 pounds. This Minstrel Harp comes with 29 upgraded Chelby levers for improved functionality. The design allows the lever to engage the string from the side and limit the possibility of strings lifting off the bridge pin. The red and blue colored caps allow you to quickly locate the C- and F-string levers. The lever is attached to its base by a hex bolt. A synthetic washer is spaced between the lever and base, creating a smooth and controlled, lifting action that resists slipping once engaged. The base of each lever is mounted to the harp arm by two screws, should any adjustment be necessary. The bridge pins for the Chelby levers have also been improved; they can be adjusted, in or out, by simple turning with a hex wrench. Craft with a slolid Sheesham frame with a Birch soundboard for exceptional sound and strength. Includes an Extra String Set & Tuning Wrenches. Sale Priced with Free Shipping.

The Roosebeck lute-guitar is an attractive and lightweight instrument of a similar size and scale to a standard classical guitar but with a body like a lute. The bowl is made of two alternating woods: Lacewood is a light-colored hardwood that has color similar to maple and has distinctive rays that provide what is known as a "beeswing" pattern. European spruce is used for the soundboard and, in keeping with the design of 16th-Century lutes, its soundhole is a carved rosette in an attractive geometric pattern which is cut into the soundboard itself and is not inlaid of different material. Using standard nylon classical guitar strings, it is tuned like a guitar in E4, B3, G3, D3, A2, E2 tuning. Padded Gig Bag. Free Shipping.
