The owner of #99 has named her new Concert "Journey" and refers to her as feminine. I think that quite appropriate as this is a trim little lady with a bright and bell like re-entrant voice. I find her very playable and have been enjoying her song for several hours today after getting her strung up this afternoon.
She has a Cedar top with natural staining, and a Casuarina fretboard and bridge. Those colored strings are by Aurora. The rosette is spalted maple pieces and the saddle and nut are bison bone.
The sides and back are Cocobolo and the binding is figured Australian blackwood.
the neck is Honduran Mahogany.
the neck is Honduran Mahogany.
Cocobolo is extremely hard, dense wood and I think is what gives this use its crisp bell like tone. It is also very lovely wood. It is fun to work with beauty.
So meet "Journey", I will try to give you a little sound bite if my I-phone will do the job
