The example you see here is made of cherry wood. Its affinity with the guitar appears in the similar string length which is 65 cm, and the equal tuning of the four double strings.

When tuning D G B E the double strings of B and E are the same. With the D and G string there is a difference of an octave. The shape resembles a lute. When playing chords this cister has great volume or loudness. Subtlety is necessary when tuning and playing a solo. If you wish to play the cister comfortably, you must use a belt to carry the instrument.
