The instrument has: a bone bridge, an ebony fingerboard with 17 frets and 3 inlaid finger placement guides made of shell, plain wooden bindings, flower-shaped elements made of shell around the ellipsoidal sound hole, a pickguard in tortoise shell imitation, a wooden saddle with a fret on top and a metal string holder with 4 heads.
