  • Douglass Scott Guitars

    The model of Terz guitars offered by Douglas Scott Guitars is a modern evolution of the period ancestor, and looks much like a 3/4-size contemporary concert instrument. Its tone is extremely clear and lyrical with remarkable cutting power. Beyond the instrument’s original repertoire, this modern incarnation is also appropriate today in solo, duo or ensemble where the higher register allows further musical expression.

  • Benjamin Guitars

    This Terz model is not designed as a 'travel' guitar, even though it is small and portable, but rather as a distinct instrument in its own right. You can of course get the same effect by capoing at the third fret on a normal guitar but the small body of this guitar dramatically enhances the sound at this pitch, giving a beautiful chiming, ringing tone.Perfect for multi layered recording or guitar ensemble work or just to give a piece a unique character. This Terz has been designed as a fourteen fret guitar rather than a repro 'Baby Martin' or 'size 5' in order that it is a practical and versatile instrument.

  • Running Dog Guitars

    Running Dog carries the Sprite Terz guitar.

    A Sprite is a small, sweet, harmony instrument. It's like playing a standard guitar capoed on the third fret. But the Sprite is different from capoing up: players have called the tone "bell-like", "chimes", even "crystalline." The shimmering tone of a Sprite playing harmony adds a new dimension to old pieces. The small body produces a remarkable amount of volume and, while it doesn't have the bass response of a large guitar, it is quite balanced.
