Here is some picture of my instrument nr 100. Is a celebrate version of my model Nordwall Large Cittern.

Beautiful instrument. Let's hear it.
What's the back wood?

Thanks Bill.
Its ziricote. Really good looking and great sounding tonewood, but also super toxic for my skin. So never more....

Puzzled about the heavier strings (at the bridge end) on the lower two courses? Any particular reason?

Nylon strings I'd imagine. Very common in the Scandinavian mandola type instrument. Ale moller plays one

Amazing looking instrument. The back looks like a Van Gogh painting!

Nylonstrings together with steelstring sound great in my opinion, try it. I use Hannabach H9 and a 032w elexir on the lowest course, C tuning.
