Über die Jahre wurden wir immer wieder darauf angesprochen, warum wir nicht auch andere Instrumente im Design unserer Gitarrencistern gestalten: Bouzoukis, Mandocelli, Cittern, Blarges .... ein gute Idee, wie wir fanden. Irgendwie historisch, aber irgendwie auch wieder modern. Und dann kamen Anfragen, ob wir denn nicht auch Basswaldzithern machen könnten. Können wir. Und wie! Gestimmt wie eine klassische Waldzither in C-Dur, nur eben alles eine Oktave tiefer.

Over the years we have been asked again and again why we do not design other instruments the way we designed our guitar cisterns: Bouzoukis, Mandocelli, Cittern, Blarges .... a good idea, we thought. Somehow historical, but somehow modern again. Our bass cittern is one of the results of this thought process. The instrument has a Fishman Presys+ pickup with built-in tuner. Tuned like a classical waldzither in C major, only everything an octave lower with one small difference: the low C is, in contrast to the waldzither, double-chorded. Don't get confused by the stringing. The photos show our Blarge, which is virtually identical in construction.
