Technical Overview
The Deltar is a new twelve-stringed acoustic music instrument which can played by pick, fingers or slide. The instrument consists of three triangular faces which are held together in the form of a tetra. You can also consider the Deltar as a three sided pyramid. The sides are made of either hardwood or laminated wood material depending on the customer's requirements. The instrument normally has bespoke steel strings, but ordinary steel guitar strings can also be used to good effect. The sound will vary according to the different strings used. The rear part of the instrument is open and this is the key element to producing the unique sound of Deltar. All three sides of the instrument are fastened tightly together. Inside the body are wooden lists and other support pieces to strengthen the body structure.
