The tamburitza family

The lead melodic voice of the ensemble

The smallest tamburitza in the family, tuned in E-D. Hand-built in our Varaždin workshop from carefully selected spruce and walnut.

The high soprano voice in G tuning

A G-tuned soprano variant of the tamburitza family. A complement to the prim, with a brighter, more piercing tone suited to fast ornamented playing.

The lead voice of the tamburitza ensemble

Alto-tenor tamburitza in A-G tuning, the most recognised solo voice. Balanced tone and precise intonation that performers value.

The rhythmic chord foundation

Flat-back tamburitza with six strings in three courses, providing chordal accompaniment. A strong, percussive sound that drives the entire ensemble.

The warm mid-bass register

The tamburitza counterpart to the classical cello. Provides the harmonic bridge between brač and berda with a deep, woody tone.

The upright bass of the ensemble

The largest tamburitza — the foundation of every ensemble. Our berdas are built with particular attention to low-register resonance.
