05-JUL-2008 Annie Enke

Electric Tamboura

La Veta, Colorado

The caption reads:

"This is Annie's first musical instrument. The body is Quilted Maple and the
neck is Canarywood. The fingerboard is Cocobolo, and there are Ebony fittings and
a little Redheart here and there. Being of such a unique design, this instrument
required the development of an entirely new combination bridge and pickup system."

David Enke, Annie's husband, is well known for his crafting of beautiful instruments.
His work can be seen at http://www.enkedesigns.com .

Disclosure: I have no promotional interest in the Enkes' work except that I find it interesting and beautiful.

Wonderful piece of functioning art. I can't imagine how many hours it would take to build something like this.
