This black Serenade has pearl inlay around the soundboard with rosewood and maple trim. See more of the BLACK PEARL.
Don't worry too much about the coloring of the pearl pieces that you see in the photos, It is all beautiful.
Some of the inlays have some restrictions as to the kind of wood that can be used with inlays. Light colored woods like maple are more difficult to inlay intricate designs. A stained harp must have something very simple like the Oval Rose or Heron. Please contact us if you want to talk about the inlay and the harp you would like.
