Our Voboam guitar is based on the instrument depicted in Jan Vermeer's famous painting "De gitaarspeelster", which unequivocally shows a Voboam guitar, and surviving examples found in the Ashmolean Museum.

Handmade in our EMS w orkshop by our expert technician Barry Holder , this Bass Racket in F is made from Castello Boxwood with imitation ivory tetines . The Rackett is loosely based on an original ivory instrument in the Leipzig Museum . The wood is oiled inside and out, and the exterior finished with a hard wax. It uses the same fingerings as the old EMS racket t s but has a more compact body due to the slightly narrower bore, repositioned finger holes and longer pirou e tte. The instrument is supplied with plastic and cane s reed s, a fingering chart and a hard case. T he Rackett is a Renaissance-period double-reed instrument comprising a small column drilled with nine parallel passages from top to bottom , which are connected in series by recesses in the cap at each end of the column. By this means a relatively short height can contain a much longer narrow cylindrical tube . Eleven holes around the column are fingered by both hands, thumbs included, the eleventh hole being covered by the middle joint of one of the fingers.
