Profesional quality topshurs by Karysh Kergilov

Kergilov's topshurs are made of solid piece of old cedar - whole cutted both neck and hollowed out sounding board.
They represent the highest class of that kind of instruments.

Top of the sounding board: cedar, cow skin or horse's urinary bladder. Cedar plate makes more typical sound, skin sounds softer, bladder adds some drummy kind.
Frets: not present or nylon tied (you may need to reinstall frets if playing in band - original topshurs are not equally tempered)
Strings: heavy nylon
Neck head: optionally with cutted mountain eagle

Pricing starts from $900.
