The ancient gusli, a cornerstone of Russian musical heritage, are reborn in a fresh form—the 9-string Novgorod gusli crafted from solid ash. Based on archaeological findings from 12th-century Veliky Novgorod, our model combines the wisdom of old-world craftsmanship with modern innovation. More than just an instrument, it's a masterpiece embodying centuries-old traditions and contemporary techniques. Each handcrafted detail reflects passion and dedication to music. The ashwood body lends the gusli exceptional durability and a unique timbre, enhanced by its dense, luxurious texture. Premium oil coating provides a lustrous finish and lasting protection. The resonant spruce soundboard ensures optimal acoustic performance. Metal strings produce melodic harmonies infused with the soul of ancient rites and age-old customs. With a versatile quart-fifth tuning system, the gusli invites creativity and exploration. The production takes about 2 weeks with each instrument individually crafted to highlight subtle variations. A waterproof carrying case is included as a gift. A case with a handle made of water-repellent fabric is included as a gift.
