I did see you were waiting for one arthurp, you are very lucky, and patient! only two Phil? that Lyn you have from what I can see looks very nice, what are the woods used for that one? Hi Chad My Torridge is rosewood and the Lyn is figured mahogany - both have Italian/European spruce tops. The Lyn has snakewood bindings with matching Waverly's and an abalone rosette. The Torridge has the standard walnut bindings and purfling. Phil

Hi Chad. I'm sure you'll love it. I adore mine. I bought it from a shop when I was looking at Lowdens and from the moment it was put into my hands, I knew it was coming home with me.
I did go to the Brook guys to have a pickup installed and they are a real delight (as is their workshop).
I have no plans to buy another, but you never know!
