Cybele, named after the Goddess of Nature, is recognizable for her powerful and earthy tonal character. This is an articulate instrument that can not only be played with the utmost delicacy in intimate settings, but also can display great power and can be driven hard without the “break up” that is often heard in a small body guitar. The tone is very clear with a bell like mid-range and a sparkling high end, providing the cutting power when played alongside other instruments. The high volume output of this “small body” instrument can be attributed to its lower bout dimension of 15″.
