Just purchased this Clark from Cotten Music in Nashville. Kim actually called me to let me know it just arrived to the store.
Was intrigued by the Indian rosewood back and Sitka top.
Plays effortlessly with a more mellow tone. Great addition to my 'collection'. haha133813133814

If that's the one I think it is, I looked long and hard at that one, even talked to Austin about it. The wood selections and koa bindings are just gorgeous. I actually believe the top to be Engelmann and that you purchased the instrument first presented in this thread:

I hope that you enjoy it and would love to hear a sound clip.

I played a few of Austin's new mandolins at Wintergrass a couple of months ago and they were all top shelf. Enjoy it in good health!

I have to agree about the Koa binding.....makes both the Englemann and Rosewood stand out.
Great quality from Austin.
Thanks, all, for the comments. I'll try to get a clip attached.
