I don't think it's a 'they', I think it's a 'he'.

I haven't got a link and the most I found out was that it's a single luthier in his 60s now building one at a time. All hand crafted.
His design has moved on from this one, but this is the one I want.

This would get put in a glass cage of awe to be worshiped.

Reminds me of the folded horn speaker discussion in Wayfinder's stomp non-box thread

Was just thinking the same thing, Grandpa...

Here's one of his websites:

Looks like a mechanical arm that the bridge vibrates, which pushes on a sound post, that activates soundboard 1, which then causes a pressure wave that activates soundboard 2. Presumably, this increases both volume, and emphasizes bass frequencies. And the pressure wave may be undergoing focusing like in a folded horn. Hmmm.

That first guitar looks like a dunny lid was used to make it

Yeah way thinks it looks like that too. It reminds me of a sliced in half apple.
