[John Swearingen]

The vaulted SB<http://skillful-means.com/pages/details.php?pid=14&photonumber=1&showphoto=vault01.jpg>we
designed for Lou Harrison has been used for
recordings<http://www.amazon.com/Lou-Harrison-Music-Guitar-Percussion/dp/B0000000OC>,
particularly chamber and guitar music.  Lou remarked that you can't get
acoustics like that outside of some places in Europe.
