Nice story about the walnut, its history with Ervin. Good to see an American wood used to such a noble purpose.

Thanks Pat. Glad you're enjoying it!

It's always nice to have a story behind a set of wood, and Jason's not disappointed me there. Nice too to be combining claro (I'm assuming it's probably Californian) with a European wood (the German spruce), fusing the European and US elements in the instrument (being made by an American for a player on the other side of the pond).

Cheers,

Dan
