My Cocobolo concert #419 arrived today. It's a beauty. The mixture of dark red and light wood is stunning. I chose to try for this particular one in the lottery because of the amazing swirls of color, the mixture of dark and light wood on the sides, but mainly..... it was the eyes. There are two very distinctive "eyes" on the back. They instantly caught my attention. They looked at me. I think they kind of look like a a giant squid, or maybe an elephant. My mom thinks they are giant squid eyes. Whatever they are, they look so cool and soulful.
I tuned her up, and even with fresh strings, she sounds wonderful. A good mix of bright & mellow. I'll give a more complete review of the sound, and the function of the MiSi pickup after the strings are settled, and I've had more playing time.
One interesting thing. When I sent my mailing address to Kevin, he replied back that he grew up within a few miles of me in Sandy Utah. Small world.
Pics of "the eyes" on the back, and the beautiful front swirls.
