An ancient Celtic interlace pattern, interpreted in a contemporary fashion at the sound hole of this instrument, create a stunning look – punctuated by a pelta mother-of-pearl motif at the 12th fret, against an ebony fingerboard. A circular triangle is found at the headstock, and echoed at the heel stock, for the player’s enjoyment.

The swan is a symbol of love and fidelity, because swans sustain their relationship for life. The swan also has a connection to music, as its feathers were often used in the ritual cloak of the Celtic bards.
