New Build, August 2024. Luthier Ivan Rodrigues from Bahia, Brazil.
This new pineapple style tenor is very comfortable to play, it has great note separation, clear and crisp sound with really good projection. It has a sweetness to the tone from the mango. The instrument is ready to be played, set up at the perfect height. It has a D shape neck profile, great for barre chords.
