Brian, thanks for the link, nice to see an original, it's rare to see classicals in cuban, but I just loved this particular set so much. I nearly asked Nick for a second epoch shape, but I played a FE side by side with a SE which he happened to have in the workshop at the same time, and I preferred the smaller bodied one, such a sweet, lyrical sound. The top on this new build had a magical tap tone, so I'm hopeful of much joy once the finish is on...

That looks great! Looks like the rosette is heavily inspired by Torres FE-09 of 1859 (Ex Miguel Llobet)
