Description

Step into the vibrant world of Spanish folk music with the Spanish Laúd, a captivating instrument that brings the rich traditions of the Iberian Peninsula to your fingertips. A proud member of the cittern family, this 12-string marvel is akin to the Spanish bandurria, often found gracing the stages of rondallas—fretted string orchestras that weave melodious tapestries alongside guitars and mandolins. Its distinctive tuning in six courses (A4, E4, B3, F#3, C#3, G#2) allows for a unique sonic range that is both resonant and versatile, perfect for traditional and contemporary compositions alike.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Spanish Laúd features a solid spruce top that ensures a bright and clear tone, while the solid rosewood back and sides deliver warmth and depth to your sound. The mahogany neck provides stability and comfort, allowing you to play with ease. Topped off with an African Blackwood fingerboard, this instrument is not only a delight to play but also a stunning piece of craftsmanship. Made by APC Musical Instruments in Portugal, it embodies a fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern design.

Whether you're a seasoned musician or an eager beginner, the Spanish Laúd offers an enriching musical journey. Its included soft case ensures that your instrument is protected, so you can take your music wherever you go.
