The Carbon Serpent has an excellent sound as well, is solid, lightweight and affordable. The carbon structure actually resembles a snake skin. It is the perfect instrument for beginners, students, or those just wanting to extend their range of instruments. Because carbon fibers are less prone to environmental impact, these serpents are also ideal for the traveling musician.

“It has a remarkably similar sonority to the wood-leather instrument,” says Michel Godard. “What you learn on one can be played on the other, no problem.”
