The bigger-bodied instruments react more to different woods. A cedar-topped baritone is very warm, and the spruce-topped instruments are much brighter. The spruce top on this paired with the sycamore back and sides gives it great balance.
Hand-crafted in the USA by Gordon & Char Mayer. Each instrument is numbered & signed.
