They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Look familiar?
Isn't Flea Market Music offering a hibiscus cutout now too?
Oh, I see what you did there.
Your work is beautiful, Eric.
Most soundhole cutouts remind me of tattoo flash art. I have thought about getting a uke with the shape of Michigan as the cutout!
I don't let it ruffle my feathers too much. What's the point. Any design, whether it inlay, shapes or soundholes, that is appealing will eventually be copied. What I found shocking is how many companies have "adopted" the soundhole.
In a way, I think it keeps pushing us to do better work and keep moving to the next level.
Thanks Ben. You are right, if we all just focused on improving ourselves, the world would be a better place. Karma will take care of the others.
