Congratulations Oscar! thumbsup Advanced Member Username: thumbsup Post Number: 315 Registered: 7-2008 Posted on Friday, March 18, 2011 - 7:14 pm:    That is simply spectacular! Wonder if this is standard piccolo tuned (octave higher) 29" instead of 30" scale! Geee Bass or Tar! Whatever Alembic may have out done themselves on this one!

Bravo. Of course, who else could build this and have it come out completely formed and ready to go? Gotta get with Susan about my autoharp/cello doubleneck next week . . . .

I suppose I've become real used to the rabbits they pull out of the hat, as it's just so surprising in that this looks so utterly normal. Amazing. J o e y
