There are lots of interesting instruments out there, not just guitars. Always moving between the philological and the modern concept, I’ve made ancient and modern guitarrons (Catalan Countries treble guitars), baroque  bandúrria, some hurdy-gurdies, some tambor de cordes (similar to tambourin du Béarn or Aragonaise chicotén)… Here I’m showing some of the non-guitar instruments I make more or less frecuently.

All the instruments will be given strung and with a semi-rigid case.

– Baroque guitarró (18th century):

This instrument is based on one made in Barcelona by the circle of Joseph Massaguer the elder (1711-1768) kept on the Museu de la Música de Barcelona with number MDMB0118. Cypress and walnut soundbox and cedar neck dyed in black with historical dye recipes. String lenght: 500 mm (in A). Price around 2500 € (VAT included).

– Baroque bandúrria (18th century):

Based on bandúrries made in Barcelona by Joseph Massaguer the elder (1711-1768). Maple, rosewood or a combination of walnut and cypress soundbox, and cedar neck dyed in black with historical dye recipes. String lenght: 298 mm. Price around 3000 € (VAT included).

      

     

         

Folk music has been part of my life since I was a child, and folk instruments too. So, if you want to see the folk guitars I make, have a look at olzina.cat.
