We have always called Myrtle “Oregon Koa” and this one lives up to the title. It looks nice, sounds nice, is local to us and easy to work. In a soprano like this, it sounds like the more traditional Koa, but with a little more sparkle. This Myrtle comes from the Carpenter Ant stash in Portland, the Walnut from Hood River and the Fir is salvaged from a floor joist.
