A quality professional level kanun made from mainly walnut possessing a sweet and delicate generous tone.
Tastefully ornamented with mosaic patterns around the edges and the bridge sitting on top of a natural skin membrane.
Well fitted quality ebony tuning pegs, making tuning very easy and fluid.
This kanun's 'orab system consists of 6-8 silver nickel pitches per string affording the advanced player with a progressive yet concise system. More tonal capabilities are available than a 4 mandel system while pruning superfluous mandels seen on bulkier 11 pitch systems.
For example, it is possible to achieve the E half flat low for maqam bayati, if you want the true rast or segah, you have the E half flat high, if you want the true hijaz, you use the Eb high, and the F# low and so on.
Comes with hard case, tuning wrench, quality silver rings and picks.
