I recently posted, “Is there a Santa Claus?” in the wanted section. Well, I found out there is not one but two. Barry Kratzer is Santa number one. He made Pumpkin #68, the instrument I bought 2 weeks ago. As a friend said, “’tis a thing of beauty” and it sounds better then it looks. It’s got great volume and sustain and a nice woody chop. Two additional outstanding attributes to this instrument are the price and Barry’s accessibility via email. He patiently answered several questions throughout the process. If anyone is looking for an affordable, excellent sounding instrument, I would highly recommend contacting Barry. You can find his information at bulldog-instruments.com. For those wondering, Santa #2 was the seller, thanks for helping put this fine instrument in my hands, Doug.

that one is beautiful indeed! I just traded for Bulldog #24 and I am STUNNED! Fantastic sound...woody...clear...powerful and very sweet! I have played many very expensive instruments and I would put this delight up to any of them. Do yourself a favor and consider Berry and the Bulldogs! (nfi)

Nice. Love the ff holes and the scroll. The color is great too. Hope you continue to enjoy it for years to come.
