The bowl is built from 25 fluted rosewood staves, more staves than standard construction, which produces a smoother curvature and a more uniform resonance. Spruce soundboard, rosewood neck and bridge, and a lacewood-accented pegbox carrying 13 rosewood pegs.

Fluting means each stave is shaped with a concave channel along its length rather than left flat, so the finished bowl carries a rippled surface that catches light along every seam. It is more work than a plain bowl and it shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck, nut, bridge, and end pin are rosewood, and the pegbox is rosewood with lacewood detail, holding 13 rosewood tuning pegs. The bowl measures 17.5 inches long, 12.25 inches high, and 6.5 inches wide, which is full-size proportion rather than a scaled-down body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rb-callout\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull-size, not a travel instrument:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a proper full-size Renaissance lute built for serious study and performance.
