Description & Features:
This delightful instrument is a fusion of medieval stylings and modern playability. This newest model
in our line has a balanced full tone, powerful enough to keep up with any jam session. Best of all, we designed it
to be adaptable to a variety of player's needs- for instance our stock model has 5 strings, but it can be customized to
have more, or less depending on your budget & needs.
If you're new to hurdy gurdies, you'll never want for sonic range with
the Aquitaine. While you're at it, check out 'Options' to the right. If you're an experienced player with something
specific in mind , the Aquitaine can be customized for your needs, just drop us an email to have us create one for you.
