REPRODUCTION NORWEGIAN LANGELEIK:

Cost: $595.00


Description:


In a long and large rectangular box shape, this instrument is crafted as an exact reproduction (based on travel to Norway) and is very traditional in appearance.  One string runs over a number of handmade wooden frets, four strings are full drones, and an additional three strings run over movable wooden frets.


The Langeleik design features include a curved handcarved headstock, eight solid maple or rosewood tuning pegs, and four wooden "feet" to support tabletop playing.  Another unique design feature is an overlapping top with a rounded edge.  The traditional "Norwegian Lyre" design is handcarved into a Western red cedar top with slightly bent steam formed maple sides.  The headstock and back are also constructed of maple.
