That's cute, how's the sound?

It is a pretty mando, but IMHO, I'm not sure if it was intentional the way the big headstock scroll was or if it is the best of their ability. The scroll on the body also looks out of wack. This may be intentional like Silver Angles have a different looking scroll there. But to me sound is more important.

Hynek makes mostly custom instruments, that explain the different shapes; this piece was done for Miki Ryvola; a fenomenal Czech country/bluegrass player..
