The three round sound holes have decorative rosette inserts and are trimmed with faux mother of pearl inlay. The soundboard has a light finish. There are eleven strings. The bridge is fixed. The nut to bridge measures approximately 23.25 inches. This is a beautiful instrument. Over all dimensions are approximately 32 x 14 x 8 inches. Includes hard case and pick. SPECIAL NOTE; No Warranty on Strings: Whether you purchase an instrument on-line or in a neighborhood store, manufacturers recommend that you change the strings on your instrument as soon as you receive it. Your instrument has completed a long journey to your home. During this time the strings WILL oxidize and this may shorten their life expectancy and may reduce their sound quality. On occasion instruments may arrive with a broken string, therefore, it is recommended that you purchase a replacement set of strings and consider changing your strings as soon as it arrives. Learning to change strings should be the first lesson learned when embarking on the journey of playing a new instrument.
