Yes, Dominic is nearly done. The COVID-19 has slowed things down, so his normal delivery time to build was delayed, but he is now doing final assembly. I am very excited to receive this in the next couple of weeks. I will hopefully be able to share photos and a video, soon.
As I am still only playing for a few months, the advice of people here will be welcomed. I am a firm believer that we learn faster and develop better connection and expressiveness with a high-quality instrument. Too many people make the mistake of buying a lesser instrument to learn on. Quality of tone and voice is just as vital in an instrument as technique, when we are just learning.
