I think I like this design and I plan on making many more of these. The sound holes are my "Agitator" design with acoustic horn sound ports. The wood is rough sawn walnut (I left the saw marks because I like them) and some really nice yellow poplar. I'm running it with a 100 year old cherry striker from some very old furniture.
The video has a lot of background noise and I did it intentionally to experiment with the volume. I think it will do the trick. Thanks for the look.
