Wood guitar, with the tank of a sea turtle as a resonance body, processed solidly, but no longer functional, presumably from the 1960s Years, possibly from Mexico (or USA), made available by E. Kühe (Hannover), who acquired the property on a flea market. He had discovered my collection on the Internet and wanted the guitar to "find a worthy place". Size 90 cm (the tank measures approx. 44 x 35 cm), a cover made of red is belonging Synthetic leather. Some African string instruments also have resonance bodies made of turtle armor (even for everyday objects, such as bladder beam, turtle armor are used there).
