This
amazing project was motivated by the fabulous cuts of Italian Alpine Spruce
and perfect tap tone Indian rosewood back and sides set.
Italian Alpine
spruce grows at over 3,500 meters in very cold environment. This slows
the growth making the fibers tight and musically very resonant. My childhood
friend Pierre sent me this gorgeous cut of Alpine Spruce from Val
D'Aosta (Italy). The cut delivered beyond all my expectations. A beautiful
range of sound with a fast response. Clear trebles and a reverberating
bass that makes the whole body vibrate. I radiused the action making her
a pleasure to play. The inlay work added the extra touches to make this
a TRUE MASTERPIECE.
