Hoffman Guitars
Hoffman carries Piccolo guitars, also called Terz guitars. A Piccolo, or Terz guitar, is essentially a 3/4 size acoustic guitar with a normal width neck but a short 22.5" scale. It is designed to be tuned up a fourth (to an A) which gives the guitar a lovely high bell like tone.Website: Hoffman Guitars -
Specht Guitars
Specht Guitars offers a Spruce Top Terz acoustic guitar and a Custom Nylon String Terz. Both Terz guitars are nylon string but the Custom model features a Cedar top. All Terz acoustic guitars come with Mahogany back and sides, ebony fingerboard and a small parlor style body.Website: Specht Guitars -
Pat Foster Guitars
Pat Foster is a guitar luthier who builds a Koa Terz guitar based on the Martin Size 5 Terz, which was popular early in the 20th century. These acoustic Terz guitars are tuned 3 half steps higher than normal, which will compensate for low string tension from its short scale. Back and sides are koa, top is Lutz spruce, neck is Honduran mahogany.

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

Benjamin Guitars
This Terz model is not designed as a 'travel' acoustic guitar, even though it is small and portable, but rather as a distinct instrument in its own right. You can get the same effect by capoing at the third fret on a normal guitar but the small body of this Terz dramatically enhances the sound at this pitch, giving a beautiful chiming, ringing tone. Perfect for multi layered recording or acoustic guitar ensemble work, or just to give a piece a unique character. These Terz guitars have been designed as fourteen fret guitars rather than a repro 'Baby Martin' or 'size 5'.Website: Benjamin Guitars -
Running Dog Guitars
Running Dog carries the Sprite Terz guitar. A Sprite is a small, sweet, harmony instrument. It's like playing a standard acoustic guitar capoed on the third fret. But the Sprite Terz guitar is different from capoing up: players have called the tone "bell-like", "chiming", even "crystalline." The shimmering tone of a Sprite acoustic Terz playing harmony adds a new dimension to old pieces. The small bodies of these guitars produces a remarkable amount of volume and, while it doesn't have the bass response of larger guitars, it is quite balanced.
