| After his long tenure with Gibson as their
head mandolin luthier, Bruce Weber went on to found the Sound to
Earth company. This small shop hand crafts premium mandolins
under the Weber Mandolin banner in beautiful Montana and has become one
of the most successful American mandolin shop in the world!
Today I'm featuring the A-style version
of Weber's Bitterroot model which features a carved & graduated spruce
top with tone bars, lightly figured maple back & sides,
a maple neck with radiused ebony fingerboard, ebony Brekke bridge,
cast Weber tailpiece, raised fingerboard extension, full 14"
scale length and ivoroid top binding!
This instrument is set up to play as smooth as
butter and with the maple back & sides in combination with the delicately
voiced top & tone bars ... just positively BARKS the sound out when
chopping chords and cuts very nicely indeed when executing rapid single
note work! |
