"better", it's because you're getting older. If she's looking "older", it's because ... well ... she is. Dave |

Location: 6 String Ranch | That's beyond my paygradem that posting stuff. I figured the aging was a factor but this is more than that. The nose and cheeks are differentm bigger, not in a bad way, just different. There are more pictures inside and it's not a weight thing (looks like Ann lost some as well). |

I just noticed that they listed a review of the Eastman "John Pisano" model . . .
There's this little "By Appointment Only" shop in my town that sells nothing but Jazzboxes (and mandos) and they have a lot of Eastman's on display.
Anybody know anything about them? . . . |

I saw Eastman instruments for the first time at the Shanghai show back in October. I could be wrong here but I think the name "Eastman" is a badge used by the USA marketing/design company, who have the instruments made in a very old Chinese Violin factory. They really know what they are doing, the materials & workmanship are stellar, the tops & backs are carved by hand, not pressed or CNC'd. They make mostly acoustic archtops & electric archtops with floating pickups, very much traditional jazz boxes. They also make killer F-style mandolins. None of them are cheap. Just goes to show what the Chinese can produce when price-point isn't a factor. |

But only with my wife's approval, of course. |
