I received mine today from TME. Totally what I expected from Waterloo and Collings. If you are expecting something akin to their MT2 oval holes, this is not for you, but if you are looking for that old time flat top Kalamazoo vibe without all the issues some of those vintage specimens suffer from, these are for you. I play a lot of old time and Irish music, and I find the Waterloo a joy to play. Interestingly enough, it’s easier to play triplets and embellishments on this. I also imagine it will be fine for choro, and gypsy jazz too.
More in a few days. But so far, it’s an A+
