Wooden guitar, with the shell of a sea turtle as a sound box, solidly made, but no longer fully functional, probably from the 1960s years ago, possibly from Mexico (or USA), provided by E. Kuhe (Hannover), who purchased the object at 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), comes with a red cover Faux leather. Some African stringed instruments also have resonance bodies made of turtle shells (turtle shells are even used there for everyday objects such as bellows).
