This was supposed to be a blade for a member here. Well, he changed his mind but I liked the ideia so I decided to build it anyway.

It's a popular composition koto/spruce/ayous, but made with hide glue. The result is a relatively fast but very solid 5 ply, no hollow feeling.

Composition: Koto/Spruce/Ayous/Spruce/Koto - 93g - 5.75mm - 1335 Hz
Headsize: 157x150mm
Handle: Flared, 100mm
Speed: Off-/Off

Nice blade again! What a shame he didn't want the blade. Please remember to put an asking price for your fine blade

Thank you Giangt!

I was planning on making a separate post for some blades I'm selling so I will edit this one and post the price on the other post.

Another inner fiber blade with Limba outer. Wenge and ayous handle.

Unfortunately, things don't always go according to plan, but the ability to fix our mistakes is very important. Had a few setbacks with this build but I was able to save the blade and it plays very well.

Limba/Limba/ALC/Ayous/ALC/Limba/Limba - 86.7g - 5.6mm - 1250Hz

This custom blade has a similar composition to a DHS N301, but using Ako as a medial ply. Ako sits right between Limba and Ayous in terms of hardness and weight, so it's a perfect compromise.

Koto/Ako/ALC/Ayous/ALC/Ako/Koto - 92g - 5.75mm - 1270 Hz

This was perhaps my biggest challenge yet. An "inner fiber Lebesson" with a chunky anatomic handle.

Limba/Mahogany/Carbon/Ayous/Carbon/Mahogany/Limba - 93g - 5.5mm

This was made for a forum member per his request, so I didn't get to play it. Maybe he will give some feedback after he receives the blade.

Interesting! More than 2 plys of Walnut is not really that common.
How does it play?

1485 seems kind of fast.

Looking sharp. :)
