The Seagull M4 Spruce in Semi Gloss is without a doubt unique. The Merlin has been renamed the M4 for 2016. When we first had a shot on the prototype of this travel sized dulcimer type instrument we were blown away. Even a non musician could pick one of these up and get a tune from it.

Seagull M4 Natural Spruce SG, another great invention from the Canadian brand

Seagull Guitars are built by Godin in Canada and the USA. They have a reputation for innovation and quality. The Seagull M4 Spruce SG stays true to that form. What a wonderful and unique instrument this is. It takes its inspiration from a dulcimer. The Merlin has been finely crafted in LaPatrie in Canada. It features a solid spruce top that both looks great and adds to the tone. Rock Maple has been utilised to create a nice satin neck and body. The four strings have been strung directly through the body. This makes it easy to re-string as well as adding sustain. The whole body and neck of the Seagull Merlin has been given a satin oil finish. This protects the wood, adding durability. The Seagull M4 Spruce SG has very compact dimensions. This makes it a great travel instrument.

Seagull M4 Merlin Series diatonic instrument

What is the Merlin Seagull M4 Spruce SG all about? Well it has four strings and is based around a diatonic scale. This is unlike a guitar which has a chromatic scale. What it means is that it makes it hard to play a bad note! Great for non musicians! In the hands of a dulcimer, folk or guitar player it offers some pretty interesting sounds that force you to think in a different way. It also makes the Seagull Merlin brilliant fun to play.

The Seagull M4 Spruce SG is a well though out bit of design. Unique and inspirational it is almost a must have for fans of acoustic instruments. It is fun for musicians and non players as well as being very well priced. A brilliant bit of design from Canada's premier acoustic builder. Genius!
