the Heartland Lacewood Travel Lute. It features a slim body, a head made of eleven solid top-wood rods, a top-wood neck and an ebony fingerboard. The pegbox is made from solid walnut and is set at an angle of 135 degrees to reduce the depth of the instrument. It features seven nylon frets and five lace wood frets, which are equally important for performance. Custom solid Sitka spruce soundboard for great tone with laser engraved rosette. This lute uses 4 top quality wound nylon strings and 11 rectified nylon strings. The recommended tuning is G4, D4, A3, F3, C4, C3, G3, G2, F3, F2, D3, D2.
Note: Lute pegs are conical and held in place by friction. When tuning in, press the pins to lock them in place. As a result, the peg sits securely in the peg box of the lute. They must be pressed in for a secure hold. Apply only as much pressure as necessary. If the pencils slip when you release them, use pencil varnish or wax-free chalk to increase friction.
