Gorgeous set of BRW, much more red than I've typically seen. Will be following this one with popcorn!

Great stuff David. I really like the fact that you bend by hand. I’ve put away my bending molds and do it the same way. I like the laminated lining, the pockets for the side stiffeners, and pretty much the entire way you go about it. Beautiful BRW too.

As good as the BRW is to look at, I have the experience of owning and playing a Wren and it is absolutely a gem with an amazing sound and is one of my very very best.

Hey Eddie ... I'm with you ... I haven't seen a ton of Brazilian with this kind of colouring!

Hey John ... I've always just been too lazy to make one of those cool bending forms (and rarely had the space to store all of the shapes I'd need)!
