Re: Breedlove FF Experiences?
Tom I do not understand the "Body styling stigma" either. Compare the BL FF to for example the David Cohen C# in the classifieds right now. Mr. Cohen is a well regarded builder and his instruments get rave reviews from just about everyone. They are certainly beautiful. If they play just half as nice as they look they must be fine indeed. But look at the styling. Hook scroll? Streamlined non traditional f holes? Features that have much in common with the FF. Yet no one makes fun of Mr. Cohen's design. As well they should not. And yet for similar bold modern design. Breedloves are derided here. Not by everyone but it seems like mostly the "that aint no part of nothin'" crowd. Personally I see the visual beauty in Loar inspired sunburst F styles, Breedlove FFs and David Cohen C#s. I want them all! Like the Ray Stevens song says:
" Everything is beautiful, in its own way".
