of soundboard 17mm. Back of two pieces with a strip of ebony running
down the length at the centre, deep figure rising from the edges to the
centre. Soundpost plate and support bars at the lower bout and fold
inside. The strings attach to the tailpiece below the top surface. The
fingerboard is floating, only attached to the neck in three places (at
the two ends and in the middle). The strips are solid, so sympathetic
