Man I have been working on these for a while, trying to get the size right so that the sound will be extreme turkey. I finally think I got it, right, as I played it for a couple guys over the phone and they really thought they sounded good......the first is made from Yellowheart and Holly with a poplar soundboard and the striker is made from some super tight mahogany I got from Chief here on the site. Only 4 - 1/8" long and 1-1/2" high and 1/2" thick.... weighs less then 2 ozs....Together they sound excellent, so good, I am sending it to Nashville this February......
