Elkhorn Cocobolo F-5 finally complete!

[Trey Young]

What's the sound of Cocbolo? Rosewood-y?

Hey Mark,
Here is a sound clip recorded by Robb of this instrument, definitely seems rosewood-esque to me...

Cocobolo mp3.MP3Here's what the Cocobolo F-5 with the Redwood top sounds like. It was recorded in a room with hardwood floors so it sounds a bit reverby but all in all it's a pretty good representation of the instrument.

That's a really nice tune - I've been trying to learn it for the last week. Is it an original?

The song I played on the Cocobolo F-5 is my version of Eight More Miles To Louisville. I've always loved the melody and thought it would show the tone of this particular instrument really well.

Ok thanks Robb. Never heard of it but I'll look it up.
