It might be better if she were taller and stood up while playing, but she's fine with the regular roundback for that. | ||

Joined: October 2005 Posts: 4081 Location: Utah | The damn thieves stole a carload of equipment from a friend, including her custom made electric violin, a new Fender amp, an expensive mic, her mandolin, and some other stuff. Anyhow, she's a starving but very talented young professional musician now in need of a variety of equipment to earn a living, including a new 12 string. Being a humble O fan, I quickly recommended the 2058T because of the outrageous pricing and the great reviews people here give the Elite T 12's and contour bowls. But then there is the question of a contour bowl properly fitting a feminine contour. Which is how this came to be a topic in the first place. | ||
