Turkish Walnut/Mahogany Lavta

The bowl, made from a combination of walnut and mahogany, provides a stable structure and a warm, understated aesthetic. These woods are appreciated for their ability to produce a balanced sound, with good resonance and pleasing depth, while maintaining a soft and comfortable response.

The spruce soundboard brings clarity, dynamism and sensitivity to the touch. It promotes even vibration and contributes to natural projection, suitable for both regular practice and acoustic ensemble playing.

Entirely handmade, this lavta comes directly from the maker’s workshop, ensuring an authentic and carefully crafted instrument. The result is a lavta with a particularly soft, balanced and resonant sound, ideal for supporting the musician’s progression.
