The Seung is a long-necked, fretted lute from northern Thailand, especially associated with the traditional music of Lanna culture (the former Lanna Kingdom, centered in present-day Chiang Mai). It is an emblematic instrument of northern Thai folk ensembles and is cherished for its bright, resonant tone.
The body is carved from a single piece of hardwood, in this case teak (smells great!). The soundboard is a separate piece of hardwood. It's got raised wooden frets with bone tops, with the nut and bridge from the same combination.
Despite the presence of the traditional wooden tuning pegs, this instrument has modern machine tuners and is strung with 4 plain steel strings in 2 courses, with each course tuned in unison.
Specs:
- Full length: 41 inches, 104 cm
- Scale length: 21.25 inches, 54.5 cm
- Width at bout: 10 inches, 25 cm

The DG-255 I received from Lark in the Morning was easily as beautiful as presented. The padded gig bag is a huge plus as well.
The guitar is a solid and has a bigger, more forward sound than I'd anticipated which suits me just fine. It plays easily, surely even more so after I have a guitar tech get it set up for me.
Nice people, excellent service, quick shipping. Nothing not to like here.
This whistle has a beautiful, warm tone and is very responsive. I have used a variety of whistles (including other Kerry whistles), and this one is my favorite to play. While recording my latest album, I needed a whistle in this key pretty quickly, and Lark in the Morning had this delivered to me within a few days. I highly recommend this instrument, and Lark in the Morning is a fantastic place to purchase from with excellent customer service.
I already play a mountain lap dulcimer, but this one gives the instrument a whole different dimension to playing. Really beautiful craftsmanship. Thus isn’t a toy, but a lovely wooden instrument. Very easy to play!
Multifacsited approach to something fun to do!
Plays like a dream. I have MS and am no longer able to play guitar, but this uke let's me play songs again and sing. I had no idea how much I'd missed having music in my body. Thanks, Lark!
