A 14th century small guitar-like instrument, the Gittern was popular with minstrels and amateur musicians. Features tie-on frets, with five coursed strings tuned in unisons of D, G, C' (or B), E', and A'. 

This one is based on a surviving instrument by Hans Oth, has a solid, carved pine body, like the rebec, with a laminate top, hardwood fingerboard with simple decorative inlays, tied on frets, and a hardwood bridge.  

**These are made upon order and may take up to 3 months before shipping.**
