Comment by Delvero on May 5, 2012 at 8:53am: Elmar, Bravo to you! Sweet sound and what a Beautiful job you did!

Comment by Elmar Zeilhofer on May 5, 2012 at 6:50am: thanks. This one and the following one n°2 sound different, I tried different bracings. The soundpost position seems to be of big importance as well. I am curious how the next one will sound and if a certain sound will be reproducable by applying certain techniques and structures

Comment by SlowHound on May 5, 2012 at 3:34am: That sounds so sweet!!!!
