This is a very sweet piece of Cherry. The harmonics are fantastic. Straight open unobstructed bore. This one is inspired a bit by the styles that are being played right now in France. If you don't know what I mean, go on youtube and look up some French didge players. You'll be amazed that they have a style that seems uniquely their own. Very well rounded, capable of playing just about any style. Well balanced backpressure. Can be brought to life from a whisper. Beautiful colorings in the woodgrain. Light enough and short enough to make it an easy travel pal, and possibly new best friend.
