Based on the round-back guitar found in Germany, the Baroq-uleles are one of the most option-rich lines of instruments we carry. This Concert-sized instrument is based upon a 375mm (14 3/4 inche) scale. It features a European spruce soundboard with a four-point rosette design taken from a 17th century lute. The back is a round-back or bowl shape made of staves of chenar (Platanus orientalis) also known as lacewood. The neck is solid sheesham rosewood (Dalbergia sissoo) and features a nut width of 36mm (1 7/16 inch) with a bone nut. This instrument is outfitted with lute-style ebony friction pegs. The bridge, also made of sheesham rosewood incorporates a genuine bone saddle. An end-pin strap button is standard.

The Baroq-uleles come in 3 sizes including Soprano, Concert and Tenor. Each size is graced with its own unique rosette design, each of which is taken from museum examples from the 16th and 17th centuries.
