This lacewood version pairs alternating lacewood and walnut staves on the body with rosewood accents, producing a striking two-tone aesthetic that catches the eye. The neck alternates solid lacewood and walnut boards for the same visual effect. Topped with spruce and finished with a four-layer parchment-style rosette carved directly into the soundboard, this is an instrument that looks and sounds period-correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-nav\"\u003e\n\u003cbutton data-panel=\"gbsl5c-sound\" class=\"rb-acc-btn active\"\u003eSound\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton data-panel=\"gbsl5c-design\" class=\"rb-acc-btn\"\u003eDesign\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton data-panel=\"gbsl5c-start\" class=\"rb-acc-btn\"\u003eTuning \u0026amp; Strings\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-nav-row2\"\u003e\n\u003cbutton data-panel=\"gbsl5c-specs\" class=\"rb-acc-btn\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton data-panel=\"gbsl5c-box\" class=\"rb-acc-btn\"\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"max-height: 600px;\" id=\"gbsl5c-sound\" class=\"rb-acc-panel-wrapper open\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-panel\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBright, Articulate Baroque Voice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive courses of two strings each, three nylon, two with silver-wound bass, produce the bright, articulate tone Baroque composers wrote for.
