Thanks Lawrence I just can't put it down very well balance Sound -Tony the tiger would say Grrrrrrrrrrrreat !!! Blackheart Sassafras is a strange wood it like a chameleons it has this Rosewood, Mahogany & Maple tone to it Torrefied Red Spruce make it all the better I can really dig into her without braking up. I wish I could comment on your face book page sadly M.Z went Potted with his censorship jazz . so I got the boot. Blackheart Sassafras Cittern I call her Painted Pony The Ziricote Cittern you did is getting very jealous of Painted Pony. Look forward on the Sinker & Pau Ferro Cittern build you will for me :) 1000 Thanks Lawrence for doing the Blackheart Sassafras build :)

Aw, thanks so much, Scott. I love the tone on that pony and hope to build more with sassy. It was one of those woods that surprised me. Enjoy!

Shades of "Norwegian Wood" :) :) I've got a Tasmanian Sassafras 'egg' somewhere - got a lot of 'heart' in it! Yes, Tasmanian Sassafras is 'a strong timber but is still soft and light.' Thank you for doing two minutes of sample music; would prefer you do 3 minutes, but then I'm greedy :)

[@nyberginstruments401]

Thanks! I'm looking forward to the next time I can build with this lovely wood.

Either you don’t know what balsa wood is like or you don’t know what B/H. Sassafras is like. I live where B/h grows in Tasmania and have used it quite a lot. It is used by Peter Coombe’s, an Australian Luthier, for backs and sides. Your instrument sounds wonderful but I can’t believe you would liken B/H to balsa.

[@nyberginstruments401]

Thanks. It isn't as light as balsa, but compared to what I normally use it is the lightest. I was exaggerating about the weight.

[@daniegrove5658]

It sounds incredible 😮

[@daniegrove5658]

Beautiful instrument..any idea what it would cost 🤔??

[@nyberginstruments401]

Thank you. A base price minus all the thrills for this model is $4100 USD. Upgrading to sassafras might add around $300+ depending on the set. www.nyberginstruments.com/long-scale-cittern .As a side mention, I am filling orders for late 2024 currently.
