Made
by: Peter McGilton
Model: Dragon Lyre
A modern instrument with internal electronics
and a medieval appearance similar to classical lutes and citterns.
This instrument almost feels like a portable Harpsichord since
you can play passages on the 6 and 12 string necks over chords
that have been strummed on the Harp. With so many strings, theres
a sympathetic vibration for every note you play.
As a stringed instrument collector, Peter McGilton often fantasized
about traveling to the far ends of the earth to bring back the
rarest and most exotic instruments. But in our modern global
village this was impossible since the same instruments seen
in sitar shops in India are sold in Indian craft shops in any
large North American city.
The instrument he wanted for the Exotic Guitar series - a multineck
with a harp and a dragons image to fit the configuration - only
existed in the land of his imagination. |
