Lyra
harp guitar "in the white" before the finish is applied.
The inlay was designed,
like the rest of the instrument in close collaboration with the
customer. He wanted a small vine inlay with some birds. I used
the scroll and spiral motif to mimic the other scroll shapes on
the guitar. The headstock features a lyre with a dove and a banner
which is yet to be engraved in this photo.
The luthier poses with his creation and
pretends to play it. No strings yet but looks cool anyway. This
harp guitar is heavy with 24 tuning machines and lots of wood
but it balances well and is fairly compact.
