Official Luthiers Forum!

Hi all — I am writing to share this project of mine, a musical instrument something like a cittern but fretted in order to accommodate the just intonation tones needed to play Middle Eastern/Mediterranean musics:

The website at that link is a "Kickstarter" project, meaning I'm trying to "crowd-fund" the building of the prototype by Oregon luthier Josh Humphrey. Of course I'd be grateful if any of you were interested in pledging any amount at all to the project, but also if you could simply pass the link on to anyone else you might think interested. The funding aspect of the project ends February 29, 2012.

Many thanks for your attention!
