This instrument has an attractive, balanced tone with high sustain and volume.
The teardrop cittern has a very distinctive sound - bright, cutting but with a full bass response, it's one for the session. Great value. Also available as a Teardrop special.
Deep, rich and resonant because of the larger body size, the trebles still ring through, giving an overall mature and mellow sound.
Large body, deep bass, terrific projection and cut.
