This one took me a lot longer then I thought it would. From designing to completion it took me right around six months, working in the evenings and weekends. Putting the sound holes in the bottom and back sure makes the 72 note movement sound a lot better. It helps bring out the bass and treble. I made a practice box just for the sound. The sound is nice and loud, clean and crisp. Thank you for looking.

The box size is 8 1/2” tall x 8” deep x 16” long. The Veneer is Maple Burl, The solid hardwood is Flamed Birch.
