Damage to Loar A5???

[pheffernan]

I'm waiting to see Gary Vessels take on this Loar A-5! I'm thinking if any real close clone/tribute can be made he is the MAN for the job! I have a feeling I may be seeing and stroking this one in person in the near future

I already have a Loar A5 tribute from Gail Hester, though I am interested to see what Max Girouard does with “The Griffith.”

Still, I’m a big fan of Gary’s work, particularly this TM5 as he calls it:

And his whiteface octave is a thing to behold:

There's a reason I haven't driven up to visit the Girouard's. I'm not sure I could leave the place without ordering one of these. They really do nice work up there.
