Neck Styles
The Kumbengo Kora Pro-Model is available in two styles of necks, classic and chromatic. Either neck uses the traditional 21-string layout (22nd string optional) and the same string spacings.
The classic neck features a slotted design using horizontal tuning machines and brass eyelets. Carbon fiber reinforcement, marquetry inlays and fine veneer sides are optional.
The chromatic neck has a solid core of maple or mahogany, between two layers of carbon fiber and fine veneer. These necks use vertical tuning machines and tuning pins. Chromatic necks can be set up with a full or partial set of Camac sharping levers
