Bealtine is the third instrument in my Celtic Festival series. It is a full sized guitar cittern designed in conjunction with Gavin Davenport of Crucible and Heckety. Bealtine has a Grand Comcert sized body with 63omm scale length and 16 frets clear of the body. It has a Lutz spruce top and Cuban mahogany back and sides which is the perfect combination for this instrument. Depending on the string gauges used it can be used in a number of different tunings. Gavin uses GCGCD.
