The wood is birds eye maple and has nice figuring but I suspect that the diamonds are a strip of some kind. One very nice detail is the lacquer finish. Nowadays builders use mica and if you want lacquered wood there is a substantial up charge. It needed some love and attention but I figured out how to set it up. More mechanicing than luthiering. It's like a cross between a guitar and a sewing machine.
10 strings, not tuned at all like a guitar. The 3rd string is the highest pitch just to keep things interesting. Basically it is set up to produce 4 inversions of the same major chord in each position. The pedals and knee levers change notes so I can play maj, min, seventh chords without moving the bar. Feet and knees do a lot of the work. It's like learning a new language.
