I like it.

A little bit "style over content", i.e. I can't remember/whistle the tune after one listen, but the playing is good and the instruments sound interesting.

I love the 3d soundhole decoration, I hope it catches on. On reflection, that might be quite a big part of the "chime" of the sound, although I'm no luthier.

good stuff

sometime ago, there was an exhibit at the musem of fine arts in Boston called Dangerous Curves. Went with my wife and a couple we are good friends with. It was great! and they had a number of instruments like these from back in that time frame with those ornate sound holes.

One of the had a small carving of a part of Venice at the bottom. It was crazy the detail that are in some of these.

This book is from that exhibit.
