    Looks and sounds great to me! Wonderful playing by Yaki Reuven as well. I like the little heron or ibis on the front -- looks like it is burned in to the spruce?

    eidt: Opps! Ibis instruments -- guess it is not a heron! LOL!

    Beautiful in all ways ......... and a great player. I believe that is a different mandolin in the video since it has no cut away, right?

    Great job, Yaron! I love the simple and clean design of the new mandolin and the tone in the video (here for convenience). Do both mandolins have the same woods, bracing and basic design? I plan some day to built a flattop mandolin one of these days.

    Love the sound. How nice is it to have someone as talented as Yaki demoing your instruments. The guy rips. Yaki VanHalen.
