I normally don't like the looks of sound ports, but Oh my...that one is absolutely gorgeous!

I was amazed when I saw it, and it had the best tap-tone result too!

The head luthier also makes violins, and so can carve wood expertly.
They pointed out that my initial thought, a group of holes in a pattern would look strange with such highly figured wood, so suggested a carved cover

I asked for something that fitted in with the Celtic knot type designs that Avalon use on the headstock (and sometimes the rosettes).
