This instrument is played one string at a time and the strings are set up in the same manner as a piano with the white notes on the right and the sharps and flats on the left of the sound board. The sound board has a small hole in the middle that echoes the tones and creates the haunting ethereal tones this instrument is known for.

Different types of wood will alter the voice of your instrument.
The most popular woods are cherry, mahogany spruce and redwoods. The hardwoods give a brighter sound to the tones and the softer woods create a softer more mellow sound. Most makers choose to use solid wood rather than any type of plywood to add quality not only to the piece but also to all music it will create. The pin blocks which hold the strings in place are made of hard maple and designed to never separate from the wooden face.
