This BTO custom was featured in the Summer 2011 issue of Wood and Steel, and sounds as great as it looks. The maple back and sides help to give increased acoustic volume and definition to the lower baritone bass notes; while the double courses in the middle offer the shimmer of a twelve-string. Given the string configuration and lowered baritone tuning, this instrument is ready for exploration and creative arrangements.
