By inserting a slice of hard wood into the heart of the insturment, the Tone Tongue, the resonant peak of the body is raised, allowing the insturment to produce a wider spectrum of tones. The sound of the insturment can be manipulated in many ways by the choice of wood used.

The Tone Tongue is a $125 option.
