Fusion

This hurdy-gurdy combines the tone qualities of a luteback with a modern floating keybox. The keybox it attached at the mid point to allow greater low frequency generation of the soundboard. Internal design changes also enhance this effect. It is fitted with twin transducers, built in tuner, remote disconnectors for chanterelles and bourdons and two extra semitones below the normal scale.

The instrument has a Spruce soundboard and alternate Maple/Walnut lute body.It is inlaid with complex mother of pearl and abalone on  Ebony 
Tuning pegs are all geared and the geometry of the instrument allows the strings to run direct from peg to wheel for maximum sounding length and ease of tuning.
