Hi all,
I received my brand new KTS-4 today and I'm a little surprised (and mildly disappointed) in how dark it sounds. It IS loud yes, but very full, too full almost with the high A having almost no extension. I've changed the stock strings to Aquila. Louder but still dark.
By way of reference, it sounds very much like this (maybe a tad darker even):

Where I was hoping it sound more like this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pio0hqZma8
Not sure if it would get brighter as it opens up.
Opinions welcome!
