Available plain or decorated Pajot 3 string Also available is a 3 row 3 chanterelle instrument, developed by Eaton. This key row operates separately on the 3rd chanterelle string, enabling chords to be played. A hurdy gurdy made exactly as pictured would probably work, but I have developed the idea so that it will play perfectly whilst being faithful to the shape and proportions shown. There is no original instrument extant in this style. As for sound, it's anybody's guess what the original was like, but mine have been described as medium-loud, and sweet.
Usual wood is all sycamore, finished in a light colour.
Its sound has both elegance and clarity. Woods available are all sycamore or all mahogany. This instrument is of my design, and of simple appearance, enabling me to offer my usual quality at a price attractive to a beginner. With 2 melody strings, trompette and a bass drone, it has a standard size keyboard of 2 octaves, so that those wishing to later progress to a more sophisticated instrument will not have to make any adjustments to playing technique. The Student has a good sound, similar to a guitar body.
