  • Gary: Beautiful instrument! Question--what brand of water-born lacquer do you use? (I've been using Mohawk pre-cat, with alot of success) Also, I've been commissioned to build a cittern---and advice?

    Thanks! Woodson

  • @1313woodson

    Glad you like it: StewMac lacquer. If I built another cittern, I'd go for a floating bridge.

    Cheers Gary

  • I dont see why not; the fingerboard width is always a matter of personal choice and a deeper body should give a mellower tone.

    Glad you like it.

    Cheer Gary

  • What I wouldn't do... AWESOME INSTRUMENT!

  • I always wondered if this same idea could be successfully applied to an Irish Bouzouki to have a deeper body and wider fretboard. Very cool
