I don't have a long box of any kind.  I'm considering a long box from Halloran but I'm seeking input and opinions. Anyone have 1 and care to give me a report on sound,  playability, successes, etc?

Got one friday and have played with it a little so far runs easy and I can run fairly low tone or hammer it loud

Hallorans more famous for his short boxes,,I think you can do better on a longbox from someone else,,actually there's a real nice new never used Russel Beard longbox in the classified s in the foolproof combo of cedar over butternut for a very low price, perfect for an introduction.

I have 3 longboxes, My Halloran longbox is by far the easiest to run and sounds the best of the 3.

If it was me I'd prob get an SS or Twisting creek.

Bob Fulcher - Love my long box. One of the sweetest sounds I've heard.

There are a lot of really good longboxes out there. I had never ran one until the NWTF convention a few weeks ago. I really wanted one from Larry Stephens and he was going to have a booth at the show so I knew I could run through them and pick out the ones that I wanted. I highly recommend Larry and his calls. I ran the Halloran long box there as well and it was not as easy for to run.

I have a Russel Beard and a Marlin Watkins, I would suggest either maker to you. Both are easy to play with the Marlin Watkins being the easier of the two. I will put it to you this way, I kept seeing people telling myself and others to get a Marlin Watkins and until I finally got one for myself I never understood what the fuss was all about, but man that thing plays itself.

What wood combo did you get from Marlin?
