Up for sale is a beautiful, custom-made Concert grade Russian Domra ALTO instrument. It’s handmade by one of the best Russian Alto Domra makers - Mikhail Andrikovsky. This instrument is brand new and was built in January 2017. The domra is made of aged, highest-quality, premium woods – the body is made of 40+ years old, naturally dried (not kiln-dried) wave maple; the body top is resonant spruce (naturally aged, actually from a "Soviet times"); the neck material is ebony, and the fretboard is made of ebony as well.
This instrument has an outstanding concert-quality sound, has a beautiful deep, mellow tone with complex overtones and long sustain, just like how great Domra Alto should sound. You can participate orchestras or perform at the concerts as a solo artist with this instrument. What makes this instrument unique is the an asymmetrical body shape and slightly angled body-to bridge strings connection. The luthier calls it "cucumber-shaped" body and this body shape provides much deeper and warmer sound than a standard round body shape Andrikovsky luthier offers as well. As you may know, even if wooden musical instruments has exact same look/same construction and even if 2 similar looking instruments are taken from "one run" - it still can sound different from each other.
All instruments that we sell are chosen and selected by maestro Alexander Tsygankov himself (my dad, who is 'People's artist of the Russian Federation and a professor at Gnesin's Academy of Music), and me personally...My dad is always auditioning our instruments prior we put it on Ebay and I'm very picky when it comes to construction quality as I'm dealing with production of high-end boutique custom electric guitars for all of my life. So you get that double control)) Send me a message if you have any questions about this beautiful Domra Alto.
