Oval No. 23
An oval bodied instrument with a cedar top - not something I'd tried before. I had some fun building this a playing with the design a little - hence the asymmetrical peghead, the volute behind the nut and a slightly deeper body. Probably best suited for folk and Irish music, if only because of the look.
