Yeah the bing-bong on a bari can be awesome. I remember getting mine and finding that, after playing the baritone for a while, when I played a standard guitar it sounded thin and tinny. In many cases the baritone body is of similar size to a standard guitar, so I am guessing the change in sound is partly due to the way the builder tunes the body of a baritone to optimise its interaction with the lower notes that it will create.
Great photos again by the way. I think that Tom and his photographer could even make washing the dishes look like a creative and worthwhile endeavour! Keep them coming Dan
