Just to open up more options for the perfect instrument we are proud to offer this solution of the mid size cittern. Perfect for those who don't want a longer neck than an octave mandolin but need the versatility of the added 5 th bass course. The same body as the OM is used and with the familiar 14 fret neck plus a slightly narrower neck at the nut than the long-scale cittern. The body design maintains a good measure of what could be described as the 'mando tone' -plucky, poppy, not overly bass heavy.
  I can make reccomendations to outfit your cittern with the proper pick-up and pre-amp systems. See the Extras page.

EVERY NYBERG Cittern incorporates solid body plates, a mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard and bridge, adjustable truss rod (through soundhole), chrome precision tuning heads, chrome strap buttons, bone nut and saddle, custom cast and hinged bronze tailpiece, and includes a hardshell archtop case. Lifetime warranty.
