The Prudencio Saez Tres S Cubano is a Cuban Tres made in the Cuban tradition with the expertise and great craftsmanship of the Spanish luthiers at atelier Prudencio Saez. The Tres S Cubano is a Cuban Tres made with solid woods and cutaway body. Incorporates a solid sapele body, rosewood fingerboard, cedar neck, rosewood bridge and solid cedar top. The Cuban tres has three courses (groups) of two strings each, making  a total of six strings. From the low pitch to the highest, the principal tuning of the Cuban Tres is in one of two variants in C Major, either: G4 G3, C4 C4, E4 E4 (top course in unisons), or more traditionally: G4 G3, C4 C4, E3 E4 (top course in octaves). Beautiful instrument with a lovely gloss finish.
