Cassandra Elk Cister - Another Oddball

8-string instrument by a crazy guy called Cassandra Elk.

It´s a kind of Cister or Mandola if you want.

Got four octave - string pairs.

Tuning is DD, AA, dd, f#f# - at least in my case.


You might hear it in action soon...

Cassandra Elk Gothic - Chiroptera

Crazy Cassandra-Elk design for Bell & Head.

It´s a baritone guitar but the vast scale length
can even handle standard bass guitar tuning.

Scale length is 864 mm (34 inches).
I usually play it tuned down to A.

Don´t know if it fits into Batman´s belt but it´s surely
my secret weapon to bridge the gap between bass and guitar.

Can be heard on "Sunrise in a Tank" by the Bart Bowles Band.
