Rebecs – Voices from the Medieval Past
The rebec is an early bowed string instrument that predates the modern violin. Known for its nasal, penetrating tone and pear-shaped body, it was commonly played in medieval Europe in both court and folk settings. Muzikkon’s Tenor Rebec, 3 String Lacewood are built using traditional designs and materials, offering historical performers and educators a faithful recreation of this rarely seen instrument. Its haunting, resonant timbre makes it especially well-suited to early music ensembles and reenactments.
Renaissance Lutes – A Signature of Historical Elegance
With their rounded backs and complex string courses, lutes were central to European music from the Renaissance through the Baroque period. Muzikkon offers a variety of renaissance lutes that are built with care and precision—employing correct fretwork, bowl-shaped backs, and finely tuned strings that provide that unmistakable warm, mellow sound. These lutes aren’t just for show—they’re fully playable, designed for both period performance and modern exploration.
Psalteries – A Sacred and Soothing Sound
The psaltery, with its zither-like form and gentle tone, dates back to ancient and medieval times. Played by plucking or sometimes with a bow, it produces bright, crystalline notes that are ideal for sacred music or contemplative compositions. Muzikkon’s psalteries come in different shapes—trapezoidal or rectangular—with beautiful wood grain finishes and precision tuning. They appeal to musicians looking to recreate early sacred music or to simply explore a calming, melodic sound.

These are popular among early music performers, reenactors, and educators who want an authentic feel and sound. Each fiddle is crafted to balance tonal warmth with the expressive freedom that medieval musicians would have embraced.
Banjos – Folk Rhythm with Character
Though it has become a symbol of American folk and bluegrass, the banjo’s origins trace back to African instruments brought over during the transatlantic slave trade. Muzikkon offers traditional banjos with open-back or resonator builds, perfect for clawhammer or three-finger picking styles. Whether you're into Appalachian ballads or experimental fusions, these banjos deliver sharp attack, crisp rhythm, and cultural legacy all in one frame.
