For many years, my personal instrument was a Myrtle baritone and the sound and feel is quite comfortable to me. I appreciate that this instrument has such a simple design, really showing off the wood grain as the star of the show. The curly Myrtle is from the Carpenter ant stash, the pistachio fretboard, headplate and bridge are from California orchards and the mahogany neck is salvaged from a construction beam.

“The new addition arrived a day earlier than predicted! So light and wonderful to play!! My own little Beansprout heaven. Thank you for your skill, craftsmanship; I can feel the love in these two and I know we will be together forever.
