- #2238 Curly Koa Baritone Classic
" The instrument is quite beautiful to look at. Everything came together so perfectly. The maple binding really enhances the beauty. It’s all so perfect! The sound is so pure and rich! It was so full sounding ! I know that it will continue to improve as time goes by. That’s so awesome! The first thing I played was Smoky Mountain Lullabye. I’m sure you know it. One of my favorite pieces to play. Today, my fingers are sore, as I played for quite a long time last night. Thank you all for your time, talent and dedication. You have given me a gift that I will treasure (and play!) for the rest of my life. "
