Very interesting. I really like your varnish!

Can you tell us how deep are the ribs?

Did you make them deeper than normal to make up more air volume?

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! ribs are 37, 36, 35, 33 (on the neck root). Too high ribs may make the sound unfocuse, on my experience, I prefer getting more air volume with a wide model.

Great.!!! Another beautiful job Manfio. It might just be the camera angle,
but it appears that you might have added a little more scoop to the back
of this one.

Always such a treat to view your work Manfio! The fluting on the back is oh so nice, deep and crisp! And the texure of the varnish is nice too.

Manfio,
Gorgeous as usual. I really like the drama in the photos by taking them from unusual angles and the black backdrop. Very effective.
