Mark Newberry (CaffeMarco, Paris, KY) "Molte grazie! I cannot put it down! Elegant, sensual. I love looking at her and such a clear, articulate voice!  Very comfortable to my hands. Nearly weightless.  It is hard to emphasize just how pleasurable it is to hold and to play.  You’ve made a perfect instrument.  I love the fretboard.  The neck is a dream.  Elegant in every detail.  Beautiful bridge!  I can’t put her down.  I already said that!  The best part it’s only going to get better.  Thank you!" -  February 26, 2010
