    I love this. I just showed my son and was telling him about your instruments and he's in agreement, I need to get one of your instruments 😊. Top notch, as always Lawrence

      That sustain in the bass with the clarity up top is just stunning! Epic instrument!

    Oops, lost my comment accidentally ;(
    stunning, stunning sustain on that.
    And those woods are a real eye-delight - lovely contrast - but while your choice of the bloodwood binding surprised me, it was - for me at least - the absolutely right combination!
    I used to skip over the cittern demos - but that richness of sound has caused me repent :) - I really really enjoyed the sound that came from that instrument.
    While I used to prefer the octave mandolin - then the bouzouki - now, because I can't really decide - I just have to like them all. :)
    cheers Lawrence

      Thanks Gregg. I agree, POC has sustain in boatloads, but also a nice crispness and punch. It is an underrated wood. Bloodwood has become more popular with my customers as a binding wood. Not everyone wants red, but when they do bloodwood satisfies. Cheers.

    Fascinating! I'm very aware of the "normal" sound of cedar with both my acoustic guitar and bouzouki having that for a top, and this sounds nothing like it indeed. Really cool sound, quite distinctly different from the standard spruce and occasional cedar. I also love that sapwood stripe, but as an amateur luthier myself I can't help but wonder: wouldn't the inclusion of that sapwood result in a structural weak point in that area where the two boards are bookmatched?

      Thank you. I am not worried about the sapwood. There is a hefty seam liner on the inside, and katalox is so dense and heavy, like ebony, that it isn't going anywhere :)

      @@nyberginstruments401 Thank you for the response! That does make a lot of sense yea, before today I had never heard of katalox but with those properties and adequate bracing I wouldn't be worried about it either. I'll see if I can ever get a similar look out, it looks good with purfling too but such a stripe inbuilt in the wood itself is just that little bit extra
