Hello,
Just a couple of pics of a flatback I picked up this week for £18.
Covered in old crap which I stripped off and am just finishing in Danish oil.
Some nice'ish birch on the back
What would you advise for strings for this?
cheers
Oliver

very pretty - "calace" dogal RW92 "dolce" (light) strings, i'd say

complimenti for the video - very hot tune - great picking

Thank you Bill, your to kind.
Cheers

Or GHS ultralight, or Newtone lights.

Looks like an unnamed GDR period German instrument?

Yep, that was my thinking.
It will be interesting to see how it sounds.
