Curly Maple B&S, Alpine Spruce top. September 1, 2009.

An consultant is someone who takes a subject you understand and makes it sound confusing.

Quilted Maple B&S, LATTICE braced Alpine spruce top, DOBLE TAPA Contreras style V1. Ebony bindings, 16" radiused ebony fingerboard, violin tie, armrest & bridge. 640mm fret spacing. Embossed leather case included. Double sound hole. AMAZING SOUND !
As I play Barrios' Una limosna I am immediately conquered by the expressive power of this beauty. Deep basses, beautifully defined and clear trebles to sing the melody majestically. Maple is one of the best woods on the planet. It possesses the best qualities of tropical woods but is free of all the extra care that the tropical species require when it comes to humidity and or temperature. Decorating her was a very gratifying process also. The 2 rosettes with Tahitian Mother of pearl are matched by luxury marquetry to enhance her lines and speak of artistry.
