This is the full-size version at 27 inches, nearly twice the length of the Mini Kinnor, with a longer string scale that gives it a deeper, rounder voice and more sustain. Ten DuPont hard nylon strings tuned to the biblical scale sit in a solid rosewood frame with a light ash soundboard.

The result is a lower, rounder voice with longer sustain, closer to what most people picture when they imagine the instrument. The light ash soundboard is responsive and open, and the rosewood frame adds density underneath so the tone stays warm rather than thin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rb-callout\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInspirational tuning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Because the Kinnor is a biblical instrument, many players use what is called inspirational tuning, finding the notes that move you rather than locking to a strict modern key.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-panel-wrapper\" id=\"hknal-design\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-panel\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRosewood Frame, Light Ash Soundboard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame is solid rosewood, dense and warm-toned, paired with a light ash soundboard whose paler grain sets off the darker frame.
