"Victor Records" 3-String Dulcitar
Size: 31"l x 7"w x 3"h We fell in love with the "Victor" Tin as soon as we saw it. When we shop for vintage tins we look for fine examples of graphic artistry and a shape with specific dimensions. The "Victor" exceeded all our expectations. George's task was to create a fretted, musical instrument that didn't get in the way of the vintage tin's innate beauty. We love his design! A beautifully shaped neck of Brazilian Cherry runs through the entire body producing a stable, tuneful 3-string Dulcitar. Plugged in, the "Victor" has a unique voice combining sounds from the mountains and the Middle East.
