While I already own several fine instruments and certainly don't *need* anymore, I have found myself daydreaming about a luthier built instrument. In my searches (powered by some discussions I have seen here on the forums) I have been drawn to the work of Aaron Keim at Beansprout. The look of the woods he uses appeals to me on a deep level; the simple beauty in the wood itself is what attracts me to be honest.
I was wondering if anyone here in the forums has an alto Beansprout (I like my ukes either concert or soprano sized, and his alto size is right in between those) and can share their experiences. How do you like the size? What is the sound and feel like? Specifically if anyone has an alto in myrtle, that would be awesome as that is the wood he uses that I find the most visually appealing. I did a search of the forums and while I found some Beansprout discussion, I didn't find much on the alto size instruments.
Thanks in advance, and happy strumming!
